before i do that... are there specific power rails i should test before the SSD reflow? i don't get a blinking folder it just loads then it turns off and on again, that's strange.
BTW i find it funny that there is someone else than me thinking that is a piece of garbage xD
hello, so we got a macbook that boot-loops, we tried to boot in safe mode, command+R doesn't work, we tried to reinstall the system at the end of download at the disk select there is none...
any idea how to fix that? is it a drive issue?
smbus smbus_smc_5_g3_scl 0.54v red on ground
smbus_smc_5_g3_sda 0.53v red to ground
sorry
PS: If i disconnect the power when the Mac is on it will be on, but if i don't give it power it won't turn on
R7050 is 10k
By " SCL/SDA" you mean smbus_smc_5_g3_scl and smbus_smc_5_g3_sda?
smbus smbus_smc_5_g3_scl 3.4v charger,3.2v battery, 2.3v diode
smbus_smc_5_g3_sda 3.4v charger, 3.2v battery, 2.2v diode
so the issue is different... the pc doesn't recognize the battery, that's why it worked with his old charger 60W because it was leveraging the battery before it stopped working... with the 80W the Mac turn on but it has battery symbol with X.
The battery is at 12V but won't turn on
damn it such a rookie mistake... the one the client always used was the one i was testing with... i wasted my and your time aaaaah, welp i have another one on which i need a pro opinion, will make a new thread
yeah i emulated a button press, PM_SLP_S4_L is 0v pressed or not
PM_BATLOW_L 0.035v
PM_DSW_PWRGD 3.32v
PCH_DSWVRMEN 3.32v
SMC_ADAPTER_EN 3.29v
PM_RSMRST_L 3.29v
don't quite know which one
just to be sure i short the pads at R5116 and check for the voltage drop.
PS: yeah i shorted at R5116 and saw a drop at PM_PWRBTN_L, i want to be sure to not kill it xD
