Hello Everybody
Working on 820-3662 backlight problem. no liquid damage ..
PPBUS_SW_BLK 0V
PPBUS_SW_LCDBKLT_PWR 12.5V
LCDBKLT_EN_L 12.5V
PPBUS_S0_LCDBKLT to ground resistance is 5.4 Mega ohm
BKLT_EN_R 3.3V
Also replaced , J8300,Q7706,L7710,D7701,Q7701,U7701,U7750
Tested known good LCD, I...
thanks you everybody, after replace SMC all_sys_pwrgd turned back ( maybe wrong smc soldered board before come my desk). What ever now board is working without problem.
Thank you dukefawks but voltage is looking fine.Only T29 rail is 0V but i didn't find any connection about ALL_SYS_PWRGD :(
And one note: when checked to ALL_SYS_PWRGD to ground resistance 1Kohm ( some time 0.5KOHm) at this board but known good board this resistance is 15KOhm is it problem ?
Hello Everybody
Working this board PP3V3_S5 line shorted ground, Removed L7560 and injected voltage from PSU. 5 minutes later CPU little hot. No liquid sign.
Is it damaged CPU or can i check any where...
Thank you for answer aprendiz . My board is BJT version so u7960 place is empty ( i ll check R7967 not sure) .
Also measured power rails when injecting fake ALL_SYS_PWRGD, only T29 line 0 volt but I know this line for thunderbolt so if i didnt connect anyting this port its will be off...is it...
Hello Everybody
First problem is no PPBUS_G3H replaced U7000, Q7080,Q7085 , PPBUS_G3H come back but fan doesnt spin. After check voltage , I didn't see PM_SLP_S4 so dedicate replace U1800 and bingo!! PM_SLP_S4 come back and S0 rails come . But now no CPU Vcore enable :(
When checked cause see...
Hello everybody
I m working on 820-3437-B some one worked on it. When come to my desk fan spinning but not chime not mouse led... after rewrite BOIS board turned on for 3-5 time ( screen come back and mouse led on) after few reboot stopped again and turned at start problem . Replaced bios chip...
Hello Everybody
I m working on 820-3023 come with no green light problem. When i checked eyes saw a lot cracked capacitor on CPU VCore and other place ( only capacitor) when checked voltage PPBUS_G3H is 16.5V (should be 8.4V) After replace Q7030,Q7035,U7100,R7021,R7022 PPBUS_G3H is turn back...
Yes original 85W charger (tested 17" Macbook PRO without battery its runs ).
Re flash SPI but nothing changed :(
PPVRTC_G3H is 3v stable , PM_SLP_L is 3.3v ( when 3.3V fan spins) 1 sec. later turns 0V maybe give any idea about next step
Hello again
After replacement Q7080 green light is ok and put back F7040. ( Also battery charging turn light orange ) but still power turn on off loop continue :(
Hello Everybody
Working on 820-2915 come my desk not green light problem. Some one tried fix board . No voltage on PPBUS_G3H and replaced U7000 nothing changed.
After removed F7040 green light come back, then i inject 12.5V PPBUS_G3H line fan spin 3 sec. than stop loop .
Note: When i connected...
