and figured out why it wouldnt turn on without battery, bc someone switched my charger with the 45w i used the 60w and its powering like it should. just wont boot
sorry been waiting on a few parts, ppbus_g3h is 12.6 on r6905 , the one fan died, so that takes care of the no fan spinning up, i do have green light. but it just starts up and never chimes. smc is safe to assume is ok, right?
nice! that is why your the man. figured something b4 the clock was bad since it dropped charge b4 the clock chip. but sure enough replaced the chip and its boting
ok upon checking the clock chip i get power to pins 2 and 13 correctly, but pins 5,6 only get power for a second as the fan spins up. thoes come from the PP3V3_ENET ive searched all the way up to Q7922 and the signal starts for one sec then dies
thats one thing im a little mixed up on, what is the order of the rails? power states? ALL_SYS_PWRGD gets its power from the pp3v3 s0 rail, does that mean its last to start or the first to start. sorry if its a stupid question. ive watched the videos over and over where he explains it. but i...
yes pp5v_s3 is high for just a second when it starts to spin, i checked l7510 nothing it sits at 0v threw fan spin, and yes there was a bit of corrosion down by the smc,
ppdcin_g3h measured on pin 1 of c7085 is giving me 16.8
voltage on pin 28 is 16.24 measured on pin 1 of c7020
voltage on pin 27 is 16.24 measured on pin 2 of c7020
voltage on pin 17 is 12.59 measured on pin 1 of c7050
voltage on pin 18 is 12.59 measured on pin 2 of c7050
sorry cable came...
was slightly waterdamaged, replaced parts r3880, r3881, c3880, r5079, c4905, r5413 as all of them were looking pretty bad with only one side being still attached. went from no fan spin to quarter spin. nothing else looks damaged. what causes a quarter fan spin?
ok knew this one had the special battery bridge, thought it needed to have a battery to turn on. with the screw in, and power comming from charger it turns right on, with screw undone it does nothing but greenlight. once i get a chance ill test voltages, with that said i did ask about brd view...
i have a mac that tries to turn on, that just sits and spins the "right" fan, the "left fan never kicks on, with that being said. how do you test this board? since it wont power up without the battery plugged in, and you have to screw in the battery how do you test voltages on the side of the...
how would i have noticed l9004 if i hadnt asked? maybe im not asking that right. i could tell i had power, and boot, but had no screen, tested with working screen. if you hadnt told me to look for l9004, what would have made me look there? trying to get batter at self diag. but i never thought...
im getting 1.3v on pin 2 on pin one i read 0 for l9004 and yes tested with good screen as well as pram reset 3 times. and im not sure what a mouse light is. and yes on an external without a screen plugged in, i get apple logo and boot, but only if the lcd is unplugged of course.
what should i check first? i know the machine is powered on, and i have back-light, just a white screen. the screen will dim if i remove the power cable telling me it is booted up into the os. i have no history with this board so im not sure what happened to it. if i wanted to see if the gpu is...
yay that was it, thank you. feel kind of dumb for not thinking of that, ive never had to repair a hard drive circuit b4 and wasn't sure if i was missing something. thank you very much
