Hi,
i have this board, i have a green led with an original 85W magsafe2, the green led shutdown after 5 sec and come back after some seconds.
With a PSU, the led stay green and become orange. No liquid damage, the customer put a bad power supply on this mac.
i can't verify voltage with the original pw adapter.
i find a bad R7105 40K instead of 20ohm, i change it but same problem.
The mac work on battery charged.
I don't know where i check, can you help me please?
thanks

Usually leakage on Q7180, or Q7010.
Post Q7010 voltages with original charger.
Also post exact ohm value for R7012, measured onboard.
Check D7010 if short, or open.

R7012= 5,6Kohm
pin 5-6= 17V but not stay.
pin 1-2-3=17 but not stay
i change Q7180 & Q7010? R7012 too?
D7010 seems good (0,78V & 0L other way).

i don't understand and you can explain me, why the original charger stop to send the power? the mac talk with the charger?

Because original charger is "smart" enough.
It has an embedded processor, which first needs to properly detect the expected board!

hi 2informaticos, I change Q7180 and R7012 became at 68K.
The green led stay with original charger, repair done, thanks a lot.
