While the Mac was sitting on the desk I noticed it wakes from sleep every 76 seconds. Not sure if this points to anything...

Tried a few different cables and whole known-good machines with just a board swap. Same result - quickly flashes the battery image, then Apple logo, followed by empty progress bar, and finally crash. compared to working board - displays battery image longer, then logo.

Was able to access the boot menu with a different adapter. Wired keyboard must not work immediately with some adapters (insignia at least). Reinstalled OS with similar results except now I’m unable to PRAM reset and don’t get keyboard backlight. Still able to use pwr button and SMC reset at any...

2015 a1534 820-00045 Was told it just stopped working one day. Received with no life. Opened to find the DC in unplugged and the display cable half way in, while over the clip. Also, the RAM shield was (overheated) removed and just placed on, and an antenna clip was ripped off the board. Owner...

Reading through other posts that say 14v is good on PPDCIN_G3H, though the schematic says 20v and Louis’ video mentions the same.

Anyone have any experience repairing these newer (2013+) batteries?or any other similar? I’ve been messing around some and focusing on the a1502 liquid damaged/ swollen batteries as the boards are easily accessed. Cant find much in the way of information through searching -most results are...

Yeah, I’ve noticed used ‘palmrests’ with good keyboards are cheaper than the replacement keyboard alone. Saw a video of someone changing out the keyboard and reusing the film - reread what Duke said about shorting though, so probably not worth it. Wondering if a liquid damaged topcase could...

Paul, Did you replace just the keyboard or the whole top case? If I have a good top case (wrong color) as a donor, can I swap over while salvaging the foil? Any other tips? thanks

2015 a1534 820-00045 received completely disassembled. Missing tpad, keyboard, audio flex cable. Purchased aftermarket replacements and reassembled. No life. Took apart and tested the board. Turns on with only charger but PPDCIN_G3H is only 14.8V. Attached the display and got an Apple logo with...

Hey Duke.. back on this one. I used a different ASD build (Mac SSD through OWC adapter via usb) and it worked fine. Can’t seem to find a reliable flash drive that will handle the partitions. Still had weird display issues. At one point the 2015 display allowed me to adjust brightness, like when...

2014 820-3476 received with a broken screen and swollen battery. System would chime but no life on display. Poped in a test 2015 display to run ASD. Received a few sensor errors but assumed this was due the battery and display. Installed a good battery and new ‘13/‘14 display - no life on...

Duke - has the solution been found yet for these? At least 3787? Thanks.

Looking at upgrading to the P1200H-45. Anyone meet limitations or run into any issues with this model compared to others? I know these are a better option for the newer boards, but does the depth/narrowness vs width/shallowness of other models create any problems? Can this completely submerge...

Did you try a good i/o board and cable? Good power supply?

If you’re accessing on another Mac with High Sierra and Disk Utility shows the format type as APFS, then it will not be visible on the Mac in question until the firmware is updated. (You cannot update the firmware by installing on an external drive. This is the problem with the aftermarket...

No Title It is under warranty but they do know about the liquid as of 6/26 (see pics). The second pic is of the correct part for your SN. Exchange price listed. No reason they can’t locate the part.

All 3437 and 00165 boards I have worked on do cycle the fan 3 times after power is added back (once they are fixed). Unless everything is plugged in. When bench testing they only start up after the 3rd spin up. About 10-15 second. Apples repair guide even mentions that these and retinas will...

Go into internet recovery mode. Utilities>Terminal. Type “diskutil list” The first result should be the internal drive. You can also use Disk Utikity to manage. John is right though, if your Mac firmware isn’t updated to recognize APFS, it won’t see the drive. Updating to HS should fix that...

I don’t think they were available that far back..? Plus, those onboard/online tests don’t give much details. Use external OS ASD 3S142 for that model. (Late 2010, right?)

So many questions.. Do you have a light/ any fan spin now? Where was the short and is it gone now? Did you replace the component? What do you mean you can’t see pp5v_s5 missing? How does U7501, J4800/L4820/C4810 and U7400 look?
