    [SOLVED]820-3023 fan spin, S0 present, no boot

    R7402 @ 91.3k Pin 1. CORRECTION 3.31V Ping 2. 0.3v but after probing pin 1, jumps to 7.74v (only when fingers are resting on probes - so with high resistance from pin 1 to ground, pin 2 gets 7.74v for a few seconds.)

    [SOLVED]820-3023 fan spin, S0 present, no boot

    820-3332-A - no image on built in screen - external monitor OK.

    Hey Duke! So, i tested it with a cracked screen - had back light and some image. The replacement screen i got does not work though. Could this be an EDID issue and are there any solutions to this yet?

    Follow up to a previous post: ------- Hello all, So I have an 820-3332 that had it's screen break off.

    I just I could make a time machine backup - they need their data data on this one, and it's already made me nervous a few times. Then try the reinstall

    Would installing to an external USB ssd work for this?

    820-3476 - Always thinks magsafe adapter is connected

    Thanks Duke! So, i wrote this bios, installed it and am getting a problem detecting the ssd (blinking folder icon) I just installed the original bios chip with its programming (the dump i sent) and it boots up fine. Can a bad bios value cause no ssd recognition? (i did not try a bootable disk...

    Alright! Thanks. If there is a good PM system here, could you point me in the right direction to modify certain parameters in the bios for the future? I have migrated the ME region before, if that's what it's correctly called, and this is the 2nd MacBook pro hat I've come across with no serial...

    Here is the original dump I got. The system Serial is C02N55EYG3QH. As a side note, why can I not upload the .bin using the Upload Attachments?

    820-3476 - Always thinks magsafe adapter is connected

    I did replace u6100 - but I copied the old one to the new one. I'll upload it tomorrow - or I guess I could stick the original one back on? Now my question would be, why did my copy and verify not go how it was supposed to?

    SMC swapped out and now the ACOK is working fine. How odd. Another random thing, The system reports that its SN is Not Available. What is that related to? It is running High Sierra

    820-3476 - Always thinks magsafe adapter is connected

    well, i sure messed that one up. I guess before my coffee. I said ppbus_g3H but i meant PP3v42_g3h. I have a 20ohm short between pp3v42_g3h and SMC_BC_ACOK. Still pull the smc?

    820-3476 - Always thinks magsafe adapter is connected

    Update. I have now removed U7100, U7001 and R5187 and the 20ohm short is still there. Before I pull the SMC i want to see if you have any ideas. Also, yes, J6100 has no corrosion. ACOK is being held high.

    820-3476 - Always thinks magsafe adapter is connected

    So, seems I have a 20ohm short between ppbus_g3h and acok. That was with R5187 removed. I replaced U7001 and its still there. Causes could be could be U7100 or the SMC at this point, Correct? As they both have a path to g3h. Most likely though, it would be U7100?

    820-3476 - Always thinks magsafe adapter is connected

    Ahhh, that makes more sense... So, Ill check that out tomorrow when I get into the shop. J6100 looked good from what I remember. I didn't see any sorts of liquid damage and I did go over the board 3 times or so, because I was at a loss. Jtag or similar looking connectors are normally ones i...

    820-3476 - Always thinks magsafe adapter is connected

    Hello all, Received this one and it would not boot past the apple logo. Well, it seemed like it would loose power or reset just a second after the apple showed up. So, with no physical damage on the motherboard, i took a stab at the bios. Pulled it off and stuck another on. It ended up booting...

    Noob question - fresh osx install, what does it reset?

    Oh yes, it's changes to the EFI that I make. So that explains that one. When the SMC gets written to the newest version, that is basically resetting it - to the newest version? Or do we know if it retains some "calibration" values. I do know that an SMC reset would take care of some odd battery...
