At the end I measured a lot of the related 5-20V circuits and all measured fine, the one sign that I could see was PPBUS at 12V even and not 12.6V.
One thing I could see was that I2C_UPC_SCL and I2C_UPC_SDA was 1.2V but no data was going thru when looking with oscilloscope I did the same with a...
Board was repaired a few months ago with SMC replaced and some corrosion clean up, now is back.
PPBUS 8.6V
I get green then orange light on original charger.
I can trace the fluctuations as early as SMC_PM_G2_EN this fluctuates around 1.1V to 1.8V.
Diode reading in all related rails are ok and...
Only C7226 was affected by corrosion and was not shorted.
Diode measurements are fine, low resistance CPU lines were measured in ohms and were also fine.
Forgot to mention PPBUS is 12.2V
Board had little corrosion at C7226 and cap fell off with a little push, check before removing cap and there was no short
Restoring T2 gives error about giving up waiting to transition from DFU to DFU
3v3_G3H_RTC : 3.3V
PP1V1_SLPS2R : 1.1V
PP1V8_SLPS2R : 1.8V
PP0V8_SLPS2R : 0.7V
PP1V2_AWAKE ...
I2C_UPC_SCL and I2C_UPC_SDA diode reading are fine.
Are I2C_SMC_UPC_SCL 0.8V and I2C_SMC_UPC_SDA 0.9 voltage should be 1.2V compared to good board are this lines bad?
Just in case USB-C data works fine, just no charge.
Battery currently has some charge and all else works fine...
UPC_SMC_I2C_INT_L and UPC_SMC_I2C_INT_L diode mode good, both after connecting power are 0V while board is at 5V
I2C_SMC_UPC_SCL 0.8V RD210 OK Diode read on par with good board.
I2C_SMC_UPC_SDA 0.9V RD211 OK Diode read on par with good board.
Both UF500 and UF400 were replaced and the result...
Clean board, when first came in one port had 20V and the other had 5V with battery connected, when checking the bad port PPVBUS_USBC0 had 0.5V when I as connected to the other port, after replacing UF400 that went away and now I have 20V on both ports but only with battery connected but 0A and...
Board now charges, but with new and original battery the Mac shows the battery condition as fair and with only 1% health, already did another DFU restore and the problem is the same.
Board was corroded around R5150, U6100 and U8160, all those chips were worked on and fixed, board worked fine for a few days and now it is back with PP5V_S4RS3 missing, diode mode here is correct.
PPBUS 8.6V
PP5V_S5 5V
PP3V3_S5 3.3V
PP3V3_SUS 3.3V
When I Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L there is a drop...
Before replacing Q5265
CHGR_BGATE 3.5V
PPVBAT_AON 12.1V
PPVBAT_AON_CHGR_R 12.1V
The above tells me all is good but I replaced it based in your recommendation
Replaced it and same thing.
Clean board, no history.
OS was reinstalled clean via DFU.
Battery is recognized in OS but shows fair state and wont charge past 1% this is the original battery and it looks in good condition physically, exact same thing happens with new battery.
Already replaced U5200 same thing, in this...
