Hi,
I have upgraded the RAM on a test machine from 8GB to 16GB (SKhynix 9CCNNNBJTAL). What is the correct MLB_RAMCFG strap setting for this configuration?
Proposed 16GB Config:
MLB_RAMCFG0 = Low (1k ohm resistor to ground)
MLB_RAMCFG1 = Low (1k ohm resistor to ground)
MLB_RAMCFG2 = High...
I removed the NANDs, it still power cycles. (but now at 5V / 0.07A)
I don’t think the issue is related to the NANDs. Even without NANDs, it should not power cycle.
Theoretically, the power-cycling issue should stop as soon as I remove the NAND chips and power on the device, right?
If the same issue occurs, then the NANDs aren’t the problem or am I wrong?
Says the same:
https://openboarddata.org/?a=showboardsolutions&bpath=laptops/apple/820-02536
And another logicboard (working) has the same readings, so 3V8 can’t be the issue. (I mean 3.8V is also present)
what should I check next?
Diode values of U8100/U7700 according to https://openboarddata.org/?a=showboardsolutions&bpath=laptops/apple/820-02536 are looking good.
No fluctuation/spike visible on CHGR_A/BMON lines.
Note: I measured at RD518 (CHGR_AMON) and RD528 (CHGR_BMON).
Diode values:
CHGR_AMON: 0.584
CHGR_BMON: 0.584
Model: A2681
Board: 820-02536
Symptom (with charger only and battery/charger):
The device continuously power loops between 5V and 20V (5V → 20V/0.01-0.12A → back to 5V → 20V/0.01-0.12A …).
Measurements:
PPBUS_AON: 12.26V → 11.97V → 6.6V → 12.26V ... not stable
PP5V_AON: 5V stable
PP3V8_AON...
Issue fixed - RC853 was blown, haptic feedback is now working.
Note: PPBUS_AONSW_TPAD was missing.
Regarding the audio issue, I replaced all three amplifier chips - cracking sound is gone.
