Wouldnt turn on liquid damage on u1900 so i replaced it. Got fan spin and power consumption is normal thought it was all good until i put in to body, No display not chime no activity on usb no pram reset.
U1900 was from a 2015 model donor board but this board is 2017 markings are different but i...
I have been wondering is there away to mimic the flexgate no backlight? Never had to try it yet but im sure i would if i needed lol, Maybe stretch the cable manually or another way to make backlight not work without the "Genius" knowing.
No signs of liquid damage, Have used a known good track pad. I know this model only uses USB not SPI so should be fixable . Should i check voltages on J5700 with track pad connected? Any known common issues here?
Hi mate i did attempt that but failed, as there was only 1 pad left. It is 0.1mm enameled wire. maybe it was possible with 0.03 or maybe i was just not skilled enough yet anyway lol thanks.
Is this really dodgy or have you done it like this before? I couldn't do it any other way at the moment with my minimal experience but the MacBook does work again now. Glued the chip to the board upside down and ran wires lol.
Should ad that it does charge the battery and will run off the battery when disconnect charger. No liquid damage on the power button or the connector. Only way to turn it on is plugging in the charger and do a SMC reset. Or plug in charger with battery disconnected.
Have a strange one here. Will only turn on from the charger does not respond to opening the lid or power button. But there are other issues too when it does boot it will load into the critical update, Can only get into operating system in safe mode, had mild liquid damage around U3900 from what...
Thanks yeah thats what i was thinking . I replaced track pad and cable from another machine and keyboard now works fine. Silly me probably did not even have to replace the keyboard oh well.
Probably was just the cable but i swapped them both track and cable at the moment
I got this A1706 It was liquid damaged touch bar and keyboard not working but trackpad works. Found the logic board to be fine tested in another top case
So i replaced the touch bar and keyboard, touch bar now works but the keyboard does the exact same thing fans spin fast mac book runnings slow...
820-00165 If i put it to sleep the screen turns off but fan will keep on spinning and power consumption is the same as if it is still on. after about 10 seconds you can still wake it up but any longer it will never wake up again. Have to force shut down and reboot.
SMC_LID is 3.4v when trying to...
Think i found the issue, Pin 9 J9500 is missing like its been pulled out probably i was a bit rough with it.
It is PP3V3_S0 (Although the original short to ground was on that line?)
