Ok so everything is showing on the about my Mac except where it says MacBook Air there no year. I’m planing on selling the board and keeping the enclosure as a test enclosure I also got 5 other Items from the same seller these where just the boards all water damaged and all have this issue. I’m...
Yes I downloaded me analyzer and board serializer. I will upload back up bios as soon as I finish with this other board thank you :)
I will upload original to google drive
ok I’ll search for it. I have the programmer but I haven’t changed a serial number or Fsys yet. But I’ll give it a shot :) thanks.
I wonder Would it be easier to just pop one off Bios chip off another donor board?
Ok it’s not the cable or camera I just repaired another board and the Same enclosure iSight camera worked fine. I check in the “about this Mac” On this current board and it seems it only says “MacBook Air“ no year or specs. someone has Made a repair attempt before I received it . I guess my...
Ok so I put it to several test and today the day it started doing weird things. It’s acting up there are weird artifacts on a YouTube web page but not on the desktop I will attach a image. I’m using 10600s as I can’t find 12800s memory could this just be a incompatibility issue?
Yes it was a ebay purchase and I found some damage to the cable. I’m sorry let me investigate the issue further but for. Ow I will order a new cable and or screen
Hi, I received this laptop with a couple of issues the webcam won’t work. I’ve looked around and can see any damage On cable what so ever Al the way up to hinge and where it disappeared into the screen. How can I test the camera itself? Oh also the ssd set screw is broken inside should I glue...
Ok will do 180 degrees with AMTECH flux on both and no it didn’t anything. I reinstalled R1985 testEd with R2502 Removed and I have 3.42v coming from smc on on pin 1 of the location of R2502 with resistor removes . Is this correct? 3.42v out from pin 49 of smc?
I tested at the location of...
Ok on R1985 on pin 1 =3.3v on pin 2=1.6v
I removed R1985 and measured it is 1k what schematic say is correct. When I power the board with out resistor I get pin 1= 3.3v and pin 2 = 1.6v so the 1.6 is either coming from smc or pch. I get 1.6v from Both pins of r2502 With R1985, R2585 removed. But...
Ok my mistake. When you ask me to short SMC_ONOFF_L to ground and check to see if I had a drop in voltage at PM_PWRBTN_L yes it does drop down to 400mv and then back up to 1.6v and when I said "it did drop down to 400mv and went back up to 1.6v" I was referring to PM_PWRBTN_L
I will check to...
I’m ordering 2 donor boards for this board that just arrived I tested cpu and It seems normal Reading .15v to ground as I remember from a previous board this should be ok. I uploaded the areas that have corrosion I will replace everything around cpu, rtc and smc. What would advice be as to what...
Ok I’m revisiting this board. I have put everything back and same issue the pch is blazing hot. I don’t know why I put “gmux” in the earlier comments but it’s The platform controller hub u1800. I guess my question is How difficult is it to change pch on this board ? Never removed one but I do...
I’m sorry I was Hurricane preparing. no it’s was a bad solder joint. It’s good now r1915 pin2=3.2v checked it multiple times. Touched up the joint. Now on to why my Pp3v3_sus is low
I’m going to check the Level of Q7802/20 voltages.
