I'm sure this is the best option when something is wrong with the electrical connections of the slot, but this is a simple mechanical failure. It will be fixed, I was hoping for someone with a good suggestion on how :)

Nope, couldn't find it. Thanks anyway.

What seemed like a simple repair just became a major frustration: one of the memory retention clips broke off. The upper memory slot now won't hold it's memory in place. Any suggestions on how to properly repair this?

Ok thanks Duke. Just needed someone to confirm. I'll just send it back to the customer as-is.

History: Likely water damage, but cleaned before repair :( Any suggestions on finding the short? Power supply maxed out at 0.1V/3.5A. Tried 3 AA bateries in series supplying ±6A (voltage assumed 4.5V). But nothing gets hot except the batteries :)

Did you check PP3V42_G3H in both cases? Maybe something wrong with D7005 and/or resistors close by.

I don't know by heart which voltage needs to go to the camera, but did you check if it's getting power?

Check voltages on BKL_PWM and SMC_LID.

Yes, I've soldered those. But it makes me wonder about de quality of the rest of this board...

Is the keyboard disconnected when you try?

Just thought I would share this nice example of premium quality. I think the solder paste for the top right shield hole, did not quite end up where it was intended. Cheers from the Netherlands, Rick

Did you measure voltage and reset lines to the SSD?

Hmmm, sounds like a challenge... Thanks Duke!

Yep, right model. Should I try a different supplier i.e. are there replacement screens around that do work properly with a fully updatet a1502?

Hi, Just ordered a few a1502 screens. After installing, the brightness control does not work and it always needs a sleep cycle to fix this after boot. Is this common in replacement screens and how do I prevent this? Thanks! Rick

Louis made a video on the subject a few months ago.

Nm. Sleep cycle fixed it :)

Hi, After replacing the screen assembly of this laptop, the brightness control won't work. The screen works fine otherwise and brightness can be controlled on an mid2014 model with this same screen. Edid issue maybe? Cheers, Rick

I don't think the chipquick stuff would really help as it needs to replace the solder in the holes in the board. Possibly this is one of the few jobs where a desoldering pump might come in handy. However, I think it might be a few years before I have to do this repair again.

Maybe you need the 2016 board 820-00244?
