no r7731 is ok if it was higher than the rated resistance then yes it would be bad. make sure you reflow the led driver until you see it move (dance around) add a good amount of flux. i always have my hot air station at 400 degrees and 80 for air. whatever works for you though.
make sure you...
measure those resistors first if they are good then check u7701 on pin 5 sometimes feedback ball will be missing then you'll know you must replace the led driver and run wires. Either way if i were you id inspect the board and replace or reflow and clean anything that looks badly corroded and...
so you get backlight but no image since you state the apple logo lights up. try a known good screen check lvds cable for damage. any damage on lvds connector itself?
as described i dont get either. i forced 5 volts onto pad 3 of dc in board connector and then hookup the charger i get 0.182amps wont turn on and i still get no s4 state.
when i got this board j7000 was ripped out and i had to restore ppdcin_g3h to get to this point.
im assuming so the mac was working before i picked it up maybe since the battery was not disconnected immediately it failed for being on. either way the customer doesnt wanna pay for the repair so im done with this one.
the macbook had gpu panic issue and some knocked off components i replaced all those components and replaced the polyT capacitor (c9650) with the better poly case cap. it runs fine but when i click on shutdown it will immediately shutdown and restart without me clicking shutdown a second time...
the board looked pristine aside from the connector area and that didnt even look that bad. theres only one test point that i see is slightly burnt PCH_SATAPHY_PC continuity is fine for that though.
Initially this had a screen issue. Screen was showing distorted image. On my way to pick it up the screen had stopped functioning.
i open it and there was water damage on the screen connector.
i get no pp3v3_s4, pp3v3_sus is low at 2.6v, no s3 rails ppbus_g3h is present and the boards light...
Battery still not recognized. I will admit while hooking battery back up the isl blew again and had to replace it so not sure if i fucked the new smc up or if the issue lies elsewhere.
well now it seems to power on but i get no chime seems to be brain dead. also connected a display nothing comes up and usb does not power on ppvcore is present at 1.69v. pp3v3/5vS0 is present.
It did turn on and booted to OS but it was slow. Since the bios chip looked badly soldered im assuming it was changed.
update: just noticed on about mac it says its a 11inch macbook this is a 13 inch so for sure someone swapped the bios chip. Can i reprogram this one or should i get the correct...
