inserting 1V means I will connect 1V lab DC power supply to the F5200:2 point and ground line to the ground point on board. Can you tell me how to find it? Using thermal camera? I need your guidance at this step. Thank you.
Hi. Here are the measurement. What do you think about them?
LN480 - 0.31 kohm
LN980 - we dont have this could on the board
L5230 - 0.55 Mohm
L5840 - 0.49 kohm
L5820 - 0.31 Mohm
L5800 - 0.25 Mohm
LF800 - 0.30 kohm
LP800 - 0.23 Mohm
We checked C5251 and C5250 capacitors. There is voltage.
Yes you are right. Short remains on PPBUS_AON. But there are many elements. How do we proceed to find the next issue. Thank you.
So we removed both F5200/01 from the board. Checked C5200 and C5201 first leg and both of them shows 12.3 vdc. What should we do next? Looks like there is short somewhere. Please advise how to proceed next. Thank you
I did not know there is 138C solder paste. I just ordered and I will have it tomorrow. Thank you for helping me.
I will not write any voltage unit when I measure for diode mode when.
Pure short is the problem. It should not be pure short. So I will remove F5200 and check C5200, post it here...
Diode mode to ground is missing as well. It shows 0.0001 mvdc for PPBUS_AON and 0.3 mvdc for 3V8_AON. I put the multimeter on diode mode, put the red on ground and black on element.
Also we tried to remove F5200 from the board but 420C hot air cannot remote it. It does not get melted. It...
Hi guys,
We have Apple MacBook Pro A2442 and the laptop don't charge. We checked all ports with USB-C meter. All ports uses same volt and ampere (5.21V 0.03A). We removed the Logic Board from the laptop. We inspected the Logic Board and could not find any visible damage.
Hi,
Sorry for late response
How can we enter the DFU mode in this iMac?
By the way, we opened the iMac and checked the Logic Board
There is no visible damage on Logic Board but Logic Board doesn't heat
Thank you
Hi guys,
We have Apple MacBook pro A2141 that has water damage. We removed the Logic Board from the laptop. USB-C meter showed the volt switches to from 5 to 20 volt. Ampere is goes 0.05 ~ 0.09 ~ 0.25 then backs to 0.04 amp. We inspected the logic board and found water mark and corrosion. I...
Customer says iMac shut down, won’t come back on. That is what happened.
We cannot use USB C meter to see what is happening with voltage and amps. Any advise on this?
Plus should we remove mainboard from iMAC. We have never done any work with it that is why I am asking this question.
Is...
The laptop easily goes to Disk Target Mode and displays the USB sign on the screen. I am using charging cable to connect but it is not connecting. Is it possible that I should use thunderbolt cable?
