    [SOLVED] 820-2850 no back light , not boosting

    it is a fucked MUX. just measure diode mode , on pin 1 r9704, only get 0.014, way too low, connected to mux directly. 99% is the mux... don't want to mess with that POS. if I just jump 3v from some pp3v3 s5 rail, the brightness function keys won't work anymore right?

    [SOLVED] 820-2850 no back light , not boosting

    sorry for the confusion. both pins on r9704 are close to 0.3. checked r9704, 0 ohm but i really looked under the microscope around the PCH carefully, really don't see anything, it looks so fine...can't believe anything would leak in there..

    having a 820-2850 board got liquid spilled,area around connector and led back light driver circuit. got no back light. PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT=12v , means not boosting. checked: D9701 both pins are 12v lcdvdd en =3.3v pwm= 0.3v smc_lid=3.3v pin 8 pin22 and pin 23 on u9701 all have correct voltage...

    A1286 820-3330 can't boot into OS,light video distortion

    definitely bottom of the pile, would give it a shot around the weekend and maybe replace the whole GPU first. the white glue of this model is really nasty. the 2011 model would come right off when you heat up, this 2012 model is just not the case

    A1286 820-3330 can't boot into OS,light video distortion

    but I did fix one of this board few weeks ago with shorted GPUVCORE circuit due to a bad cap, after repair , it was around that range as i remember. and for GPUs of 2011 2012 , should be around 100 sth. 820-2915 is around 100 as I can remember..

    A1286 820-3330 can't boot into OS,light video distortion

    yea come across a lot this year,I think can be a common fault on the circuit that we didn't found out yet. The glue around VRAM are pretty nasty to remove of this model too

    A1286 820-3330 can't boot into OS,light video distortion

    Nothing to do with the LCD for sure. I actually had seen this issue previously like few months ago on another machine. I replaced the GPu and didn't get the problem fixed and finally gave up. now they come across again. that's why I didn't touch the GPU yet. and yes it's extremely hot , but...
