Hello, I need help with this board. It worked correctly but my brother forgot the charger. I tried to connect it to a hotel USB port to charge it and it didn't turn on again.

I have checked it under a microscope but I don't see any burned or damaged components with the naked eye. With another laptop if the apple configurator detects the presence of this board.

thanks to all

"PP3V3_G3H - 2,96v"
Which pin of L7690?
Did you check diode mode ground too?

Is the machine recognized into DFU mode?

L7690 pin1 3,26v

mode ground any short´s at PP3V3_G3H, PP5V_G3S, etc..

The Apple configurator detects the board in lock mode (locking logo) but cannot put it in DFU mode.

So 3V3_G3H is correct.
Remember to always check voltage on the output pin of a coil from any buck-converter!

Try to force the machine in DFU with wire method.
