    MacBook 820-3437 mag lights/fan spin/no chime

I learned my lesson 2 years ago on a Mac Logic Board especially these, not to run them with out the heatsink as it will damage (which happened in my case) the CPU. As for you saying "not recommend to force CPU", I am sorry I worded that wrong as I was...

    Hello all, This may seem to be very weird, but I repair daily liquid damaged MacBooks and never have an issue. Now after all this time, I get an A1466 with no liquid damage and all signs and rails show there shouldn't be a problem. Just not getting chimes and I plug in a mouse and it just...

    820-00165 Boots Up to Login Screen Then Shuts Off After 20 sec

    Hello, This is the weirdest thing I have come across. Brought it back to life after water damage repair as well as putting on 2 donor SMC and I get full bootup to the customers login screen then after 10 to 20 seconds it just shuts down. I am unable to PRAM reset for whatever reason. Any...

    Thank you for the suggestion, I didn't even notice the through the hole to other side was bad :-/ I have the 3v on pin 2 of R9731 still no backlight. I'm beginning to wonder if this board is just hopeless

    No beep at all on all the Pins you asked.... I should just go run this over with my SUV a few times, pick up the remains and burn them and then bury it..... Just for the heck of it I replaced C9782 as well... Pin 3 now shows 4v still no backlight....

    Ok, this board is really upsetting me, remasked the area, put a new LP8550 and short to ground is gone from all BKL points, now Pin 21,22 on LCD connector is giving me 2.4v as well as Pin 1 on D9701

    dukefawks, I greatly appreciate your time, I found out what is wrong, I need to re-do the solder mask for the LP8550, it didn't look to bad the first go around but I pulled it again and yeah, you can't make out where the pads go. So I have to make a blackout stencil and uv some solder masking so...
