so i pulled the board out of the housing, left in the ssd, and measured ppbus_g3h and i got 8.4v on R5301, (and the board remains on with the ssd in it (out of the housing)
yes it appears it will only shut down when it tries to boot an os.
i did not measure with the battery disconnected, but i forgot to mention it does not charge the battery either. also on this model the only power supply i have is a knockoff one, BUT i bough this mac with the symptoms listed...
820-3209-A liquid damage, powers on, chimes, turns off after 3-5 seconds
board gets warm
if you remove the ssd, it will not power off after 3-5 seconds
if you try to boot from usb, it will power off again though
to be clear, if you remove the ssd it will stay on
fan seems to run high
my question...
I'm gettn better at reballing iphone ICs but its still taking me too long to do it. Its taking me 2-4 tries to get balls on all the pads using solder paste. im putting the ic flat on the solder mat, then putting the stencil over the top, then adding paste, spreading it around until each hole...
yes i changed the battery, yes i inspected the battery connector, no signs of water damage
i have a 6s that will be fully charged or near fully charged, then it just dies and acts as if the battery has no charge at all
ive changed the battery, it doesnt help. the connector looks flawless, anyone...
i dont currently own a scope, if you have a recommendation for a cheap but good one please let me know. Idk if the battery charges or not so I will check that as well. Thank you for your help, I realize when someone is new its a bit frustrating to help them, so again thank you.
green light= yes
pp3v42 good/normal
ppbus_g3h good/normal
pp3v3_s5 good/normal
pp5v5 good
ppv3v3_s3 NOTHING HERE (ENABLE IS 3.3V On mosfet, but its a P mosfet, idk if that means the voltage should be lower than the output,)
(ARE S3 LINES SUPPOSED TO SHOW BEFORE THE DEVICE POWERS UP?)
no...
820-2327-a doesnt turn on, nothing on 3v3s5, u7200 has nothing on entrip (pin 6) for 3v3s5, resistor on entrip line is (r7272), problem is the schematic shows this resistor to be 57.6k, im getting a reading of 75k, BUT on the same model board that is working, on that same resistor i get a...
my board doesnt power on. its receiving power (the back end of the fuse shows full voltage, and an g3 hot has voltage, but somewhere there must be a short bc im getting no power (either that or the power button doesnt work (not sure how to trigger that on a laptop board). what im trying to do is...
thank you. i have the board view and the schematic already, just need help properly reading the schematic. i cannot tell where the lines originate....very confusing at the moment.
I am fixing my first macbook, and I found a few lines that have no power, but I do not really know what to do from there, I'm having trouble reading the schematics properly so I dont know where to backtrack to in order to hunt down the problem that is keeping these certain rails from getting...
