- PM_RMRST_L - 3.32V
- PM_PWRBTN_L - 3.32V
When I short SMC_ONOFF_L to ground at SW5200, PM_PWRBTN_L (measured at R1802) goes to a few millivolts while I hold the short. It then comes back to 3.3V when I release the short.
So somehow I now have S5_PWRGD but I don't have P5VS4_PGOOD, and R7802 is approximately 100K.
I then found that P5VS4_EN_RCD is missing , and more importantly that PM_SLP_S5_L (its dependency) is missing.
Could you please point me what PCH signals need to be present for PM_SLP_S5_L to be...
Happy Thanksgiving!
I bought an A1707 that was liquid damaged. It sometimes turns on after leaving it alone for a while (albeit doesn't boot, but that might be a separate problem).
Right now, these are what I probed for (not in order). It shows 0.05A and 20V from the USB-C meter. I poured...
Hi,
I have an 820-00239-A that works minus two pretty big issues.
Issue 1: When I plug in my charger or my flash drives, things work great independently. When I plug in my flash drive and charger together, it fries my flash drive and sends 20v straight to the drive (already fried 3 drives...
Everything near U7100, U7210, and U7220 looks really clean.
CPUVR_SWSA - L7270 - 1.10v
PPVCCSA_S0_CPU - R7270 - 1.03v
CPUVR_PGOOD - 3.02v
CPUCORE_PWM1 (the PWM pin to U7210) - 2.48v (measured as DC)
CPUCORE_FCCM - 14.1mV (600k to ground) - Another clue I am guessing contributing to why I'm...
Hello folks,
I recently bought a water damaged A1706 touch bar that doesn't have any chime (and obviously no display or fan). When connected to a USB-C monitor, the monitor turns on but no display (indicating its drawing some power). Here are the measurements I took - do you have suggestions on...
Neither the data lines nor the PP5V_S0SW_LCD resistance - I thought those should be measured without the LCD connected - will redo those measurements then.
All the voltages above were done with the LCD connected and the board flipped around - I'll also order another flex cable in case Apple...
Oh very interesting, thanks for the hint! Below are the measurements once again while lid is open and external monitor connected.
5V_S0SW_LCD - 5V for a second
PP3V3_S0SW_LCD (R8520 Pin 2) - 3.3v for a second
DP_INT_HPD (R8501 Pin 1) - 3.3v for a second
EDP_PANEL_PWR_EN (R8510 Pin 1) - 3.1v for...
I bought an A1708 laptop (from original owner in person) for my personal use.
1) The original symptom was the screen would occasionally have a glitchy-looking screen until you move the display (indicating an issue with the flex cable).
2) Took it apart and (don't ask why, I was an idiot) while...
Hey,
I got an 820-4924-A motherboard with possibly some liquid damage and just did a Bios ME Region clean (since it had an EFI lock in it). Battery charges and it runs off battery so I was happy, but now I am running into a new issue.
The system is running very slow and kernel_task is using up...
