With battery connected the charger light will after 30 seconds or so turn off. MacBook will still stay on and run but battery no longer charging.
I then have to remove the charger from the mains and count to 20/30 seconds before the charger will work again.
If I plug the charger back in the same...
You won't believe this but the chip I used for U9701 was wrong. Replaced with the correct chip and all is good now. Thanks again for your help - appreciated.
My mistake I measuring at the wrong place. Yes SMC_LID is high and steady at 3.40v both when backlight works and when it doesnt. Is it possible the replacement backlight driver was bad or got damaged whilst I was heating it? Also it's ok to buy these chips off eBay right, I mean they are not...
OK I'll assume it's D9701
When backlight not working :-
D9701 Pin 1 (PPBUS_SW_LCDBKLT_PWR_SW fluctuates between 7.27v and 7.52v
Pin 2 (PPVOUT_SW_LCDBKLT fluctuates between 7.40v to 7.52v
SMC_LID = 0v
** Now the backlight works on battery but as soon as I take the brightness up...
Hi,
I have a MacBook Air 13" A1466 820-3209-A
There was corrossion under the backlight driver U9701 and no backlight. I changed the chip with a new one and now I get backlight but only if the battery is disconnected.
If I attached the battery I don't get backlight but I do get image.
Thanks in...
Yes a1706 apologies. I’ve ordered a replacement board connector as pin 22 in the connector has broken away. I will update here once I’ve changed it.
Thank you
I have the above board which had some water damage. I've managed to get the board working and Mac OS loads fine. A lot of the liquid spilt onto the touch bar connector area especially J5100.
I couldn't find a replacement touchbar in the UK for the a1989 but ordered one for the a1708 which I...
I don't want to take the board out so can't give you the board number - sorry.
Here are the diode measurements for the first 6 pins (pins 1 - 6), hopefully this should help you
Without LCD | With LCD
Pin1 - 0.545 | 0.545
Pin2 - OL | OL
Pin3...
Hello.
I'm getting display from an external monitor but not from the LCD.
Shining a light through the back of the screen does not show up any icons etc.
Without having a test screen to try what's the best way to determine if it's the logic board or the LCD? I've measured the voltage at pin 1 of...
Does a dead CPU also explain why ppbus was going from 12.58v for 30 seconds and then drops to 12.26v or would that be the SMC ? Also what should ppbus be for these boards? The schematic says 13v is that correct?
The pin that shows the burn is DP_INT_AUXCH_C_N
Here are some diode mode readings:-
PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT = 1.055
DP_INT_AUXCH_C_N = OL (Open Line)
DP_INT_AUXCH_C_P = 0.228
Do you need more readings or is that enough for you to come to a conclusion?
