There is hardly any solder (almost none) at 16 and 17, all corroded away.
Green light
No fan spin
No water damage
Board just "suddenly would not turn on"
PP1V2_S3 = 0 V
U7400 with lots of white corrosion
L7430: 0.30 V on diode mode to ground
PP5V5_S5: 5.5V
change U7400?
OK reflashed from MEDUSA backup and then reset NVRAM.
Seem to now boot into OS
Weird but on boot it looks like it is still installing the OS
Says "10 minutes remaining" and then booted into OS.
Not sure if that is due to the reflash.
I can reclean the ME region again with the Medusa.
The CPU...
Me region cleaned using medusa
now mac gets to apple logo, stuck at like about 5%, never gets to OS
cpu immediately heats up, super hot
is this a mosfet issue
CPU heating up within 15 -30 seconds
OK I just did that
Fan instantly dropped to normal speed at around ~1200
Seems to run fine.
Ran fine for 2 hours testing.
Any thing else you can think of to try?
I was hoping to avoid an SMC reball etc.
SMC reflow?
ASD (EFI) shows no SMC error.
AIRFLOW TEMP sensor shows at 128C
Could this...
OK Replaced
U5810
U5620
Re-seated all keyboard/trackpad connectors.
Did an SMC reset
Still have fan at 6300
Airflow TEMP: 128
BAT SENSOR temps: 128
Machine boots into OS
Fan starts slow and as the OS appears the fan ramps up to max speed and stays there.
Yes, just replaced the trackpad connector.
No change. Still boots into OS fine.
Fan starts slow and just ramps up to MAX 6800 RPM.
Battery temps 129C in HWMonitor
I used a trackpad connector from a donor board.
I now am looking at:
U5810
SMC
Yes I did
EFI diagnostics: no errors except for battery missing (unplugged)
I checked:
J4800 looks good
J9500 looks good
J4800
Diode voltage to ground
16: .71
17: .71
Now I'm wondering if I should just replace U5800 but CPU is on other side of board which makes me nervous.
U5810? <-----...
OK webcam disconnected. New trackpad.
Boots into OS.
Still high fan.
I am willing to start over and see what I have missed.
I know this one can be solved.
1) Buy another DC-in board?
2) are there any sensors that are on the board that feed battery temp data?
3) trackpad connector?
1...
Well, I cleaned the ME region
Went well.
Boot up into Catalina but the Battery Temps are back up to 129 C in Hardware monitor
Fan : 6200
All other temps normal.
I had put in a known working used trackpad.
Maybe I will put in a brand new trackpad and see if that works.
The trackpad sensor may...
