SMC, the million-dollar question
- Thread starter hascanio
- Start date
Not a real solution.
Part of marking shows the manufacture date.
A chip manufactured in 2015, can't be used in earlier machine.
You need to solder it and test if works properly.
As an example, 3437 SMC can work in 00165 and viceversa; but weird issues can appear.
I soldered once wrong SMC in a Retina Pro and I got missing 1/3 bottom part of image.
The problem was fixed puting correct SMC there.
