Trying to edit the SPI ROM in order to get the serial to match the case on a board I replaced. I have a TL866.
I used the read function in minipro and had to uncheck "Check ID" to get it to read. But when I dumped it into HxD and tried to find the serial, searching for "hwc" didn't pull it up...
Yea, I have definitely tested this in two good whole top cases. What if they aren't being detected as USB devices in system info? Because that may be a possibility for one of them.
I have got two 820-3476 where the keyboard and trackpad randomly starts and stops working. Pretty sure they are not recognized as USB devices when this happens. Keyboard controller?
Like title says, 820-2936 with pulsing SMC_PM_G2_EN. Board looks clean. PPVRTC_G3H also pulses, and PPBUS_G3H sometimes goes between 12.55-12.63v. SMC reset is fine.
Dead SMC?
I replaced the keyboard on two A1534 and neither of them would go to sleep when you closed it, so that explains it. Just to make sure though, is there a way to measure smc lid with the keyboard connected? trackpad flex makes it impossible to measure the logic board -- solder wires?
820-4924 liquid damage, C5125 and R5489 were corroded so I replaced them and it turns on now, however once I plug the trackpad in it chimes then gets stuck at a blank black screen before the Apple logo. Already tried a known good trackpad and cable, and the trackpad does click when it is on. Ideas?
