Hi,
MacBook came in for battery replacement.
With the new battery (A1618, 11.36V, 99.5W, 8755mAh) installed, the MacBook powers on for a minute ore two and then shuts off.
After shutting off it will not turn on again.
Unplugging the battery doesn't help.
But now comes the weird thing:
Leaving...
with camera and backlight conneceted, it starts normally. (Backlight doesn't turn on).
Only Backlight connected it starts normally (Backlight doesn't turn on)
only camera connected it starts normally
only EDP display connected, it fails to start
I've checked for for damaged connectors and knocked off components. It is all good and in place. I also tested with a different good working lid from an other machine but got the same results. (Starts booting and then fails).
I recognized a drop in voltage from 20.71V to 14.96V before booting fails
Hi,
I've got a MBP A2442 with booting and display issues in the shop.
It came in for display repair, no backlight and not starting / booting.
With disconnected display cable the MacBook starts normally and boots to user login surface. (checked with external montitor)
With connceted display...
Numbers from OpenBoardData Project
SMBUS_3V3_BATT_SCLDefaultd0.935
SMBUS_3V3_BATT_SDADefaultd0.937
Would say, very close to my readings in case the value is shown in Kilos?
Q6950 pins 3 to ground = 964
Q6950 pin 6 to ground = 954
Q6950 pin 1 to ground = 469
Q6950 pin 4 to ground = 379
With the other Multimeter, I get different readings on Pin 3 (1260) and Pin 6 (1248) to ground. Pin 1 and pin 4 are the same.
I checked again with different multimeter:
Q6950 Pin3 SMBUS_3V3_BATT_SDA to ground in diode mode= 964
Q6950 Pin 6SMBUS_3V3_BATT_SLC to ground in diode mode = 957
In diode mode, I checked before Pin 4 to Pin 3 = 607
and Pin 4 to Pin 6 =1906
(always, red prob on pin 4)
Have I done anything wrong?
Red prob on SMBUS_3V3_BATT_SCL/SDA and black on I2C_PWR_SCL/SDA_R1 = OL
Red prob on I2C_PWR_SCL/SDA_R1 and black on SMBUS_3V3_BATT_SDA= 650 _SCL= OL
Does it mean, Q6950 needs to be replaced?
C7023 = 2.4 ohms
Q7065 isn't shorted D-S pins (222 - 775k Ohms) = OL in diode mode
diode mode to ground at SCL/SDA lines of battery bus; before and after Q6950 = OL
Hello everybody,
I have a MacBook Pro A2289 in the shop. It came in with light water demage, no power 5.209V - 5.213V / 0.014A. Corrotion was found around C7055 (PPBAT_G3H_CHRG_REG).
Disconnceting the battery solves the problem. MacBook starts normally and boots to login.
We cleanded the area...
Hello everyone,
I received a Macbook Pro 16" M4 A3403 EMC 8895 from a customer that has water damage on the logic board.
The damage is limited to the area of the keyboard. With the keyboard disconnected, the Macbook boots normally.
The damaged capacitor or resistor has already been found...
