Hey, I'm helping one of my local shops i work with on a customers a1278 2011. He got a log report and was wondering if anyone can make anything from it? he was doing an osx install when he developed the report but the customer was already reporting it was crashing in osx. I'm having him run asd...
No its 3.4v, i was using a second keyboard, tested it with another keyboard and it does attempt to power on with J6955 connected. so perhaps that was related to the test keyboard.
I did notice that u6990 had corrosion around it, replaced u6990 and c6990 already, could anything else in that...
I changed out the smc and put it through the UC. still nothing. I did notice that if i connect j6955 that i get no fan spin at all on just the battery, would something here perhaps cause this issue?
im not sure if it did but i have been wondering about that also. i will swap it out just to be sure at this point. also i was about to just UC it just in case crap was under something and was causing all this. i will post back after i try this. fingers crossed haha
yeah sorry about that, i normally check over my solder work but was rushed by the guys for lunch. i double checked over all the soldering. i bridged over R7050 and it wont power on.
okay, i did try another isl twice before this. i replaced Q7055 and checked traces to it all was good. i replaced every chip around the isl and then checked every trace to each one and everything was good. so i swapped out the isl after all this and it worked. i'm guessing one of the chips...
i checked r7050 pin 3 to r7052 to isl getting 5.3 ohms
r7050 pin 4 to r7051 to isl 9 ohms
27 to r7020 pin 3 = 13.5 ohms
28 to r7020 pin 4 = 14.5 ohms
was there any traces to the isl that i missed here?
Okay, i removed the isl and the system powers on from the battery and runs on it. i changed out the isl with another one and i still have the same issue.
Okay that would make sense. i tested with battery and ac connected. powered on - Amon was .65-.7v and Bmon was .05v
When i tested with battery only, pressing the power switch at the same time as testing, Amon was .0v and Bmon was .43v
would .43v be high current on that line? as we only...
Yes, charges the battery and gives orange light, battery is fully recognized by system. res pin 17/18 is 10.4 it was 150 something but i noticed and changed out r7051 as it looked burnt and now its 10.4. 27/28 is 26.5 ish. i'm attaching some photos of the area affected. i cannot tell if...
I have a 2012 3330 liquid damaged, had a bad isl and some burnt up lines running on pin 17 of the isl, ran a wire. the board appeared to be working, but when i put it in a test rig connected the charger and the computer turns right on and responds to the power button on and off. if i...
any idea why this board is crashing? here is the crash report. already replaced c9560. was working or so it seemed. sold it and got it back customers said it wasn't working. it crashes on the start up.
A local pc shop brought in an imac that hangs up during start up, I tried it with my test drive and it did the same thing. I ran ASD EFI everything passed and i ran OS and everything passed there too. i figured it was likely the graphics but it passed the test. what would you think the issue is...
Okay i went ahead and sonic cleaned it. something to note on this one, i did a pram reset and after the first reset the computer turns off, and every time after that if you press the power button it starts to power on and then just shuts down after about 5 seconds. it does not load back up after...
now im getting TH1H sensor is reading above the high limit. could this be from u5550 not seated fully maybe? i did it in rush but it looked okay, but i haven't gotten this sensor error until now.
