Yes I am not able to put in DFU and I have 2 working macbooks here
I tried with 3 different charger cables (2 original and 1 chinese all of them charges perfectly any machine)
Also the MBP which I use as the MASTER on these target DFU 100% working macbooks is a MBP A1706 with Ventura...
I think you totally did not understand
FORGET THE DAMAGE MBP FOR A MINUTE
I am with two working MBP 2016. Trying to test DFU mode in one of them. I couldn't put them on DFU. Then there is this issue about apple configurator to be installed on SONOMA (MACOS 14)
why is it not working? Do I...
I used 3 charger cable (2 original and 1 Chinese MFI verified)
I used a MBP 2016 however I already used it a year ago to DFU and it did the job. Its over a year without using DFU on this computer and also I tried to install apple configurator on another MBP 2016 which mentioned REQUIRED MACOS...
Another important thing but its been really weird.
I have a MPB 2016 with Apple Configurator 2 installed and I tried DFU using it as the Master Notebook. However I tried to put a working MBP to DFU and couldn't. Also tried to install Apple Configurator on it and it requires macOS Sonoma, I...
I know how to do diode mode. However not sure how to measure on the ports since its USB-C.
Should I remove the connector and measure on the PINS? Can you confirm the PINS that I should measure?
After that I will try to start board with charged battery right?
Customer told it was working normal them it appeared the screen with low battery the next day when she woke up put to charge and then it died completely.
No water damage and its looks like brand new visually inspecting
3V3_G3H_RTC = 3.36
PP1V8 SLPS2R = Goes to 1v8 and then drops in a LOOP...
Done.
Cut a bit of it and now it seems to be 100% working
Just noticed if I close the lid without locking the screen and open again after a few minutes it still UNLOCKED.
Did the RIGHT AMR sensor would be responsible for automatically locking the machine when closing the lid?
OK
Board out of the case
We have a TP before going to the JE900 on the board itself.
Should I use the knife blade and CUT the surface of it as I am pointing in the picture attached?
A bit afraid to damage anything
A small cut would work?
PERFECT! I understood 100%
Since you have more knowledge than me with newer boards
Do you have a suggestion for this convenient point? Lifting the PIN 10 on JE900 would be convenient and safe? Is there a better option?
Can you explain me with more details detail what to do?
I kind of keep asking you, and you give me shallow information of what to do, usually a tiny sentence then I need to come here and make the almost the same question again.
I am deeply sorry to have less knowledge than you in this area...
I did not understand. What do you mean by isolate the trace?
JE900 is below the board I didnt disconnect it on JE900
I disconnected it on the small board which have the audio jack and I am not sure the position of this trace on that small board since I only have schematic of the main logic...
How can I measure AMR_RIGHT_OR_ND_1V8 with JE900 connected and the board assembled? Is there a way? Looking at the schematics the only point would be RR201 which is on the back side of the assemble board.
The only option is dissamble everything? Is there a way to measure without dissamble?
I didnt disconnected JE900 I disconnected the other side of it on the small board with the audio jack (image attached)
The freezing problems looks like its gone.
AMR_RIGHT_OR_ND_1V8 = I didnt disamble the board at at all. Is there a way to check it without dissamble or the LEFT measurement already means something since its below 1.8v?
Just to let you know with the LID open and leaving the computer for 1 hour without usage when I use trackpad and...
No it didnt fix
For some reason it worked different after doing DFU restore (kinda of crazy worked out good) but after a day its doing the same thing!
I did again DFU restore and right after install it. I closed the lid and opened instantly it even did not enter the password screen it still at...
