I always get this model board with this problem.
It had oxidation near UB300, with a short on the PP3V3_UPC_TA_LDO (CB308) line. I ended up with the short and the UB300 pulled 5v - 0a, the others 5v - 0.25a. So I replaced the UB300, now all ports pull 5v - 0.25a.
Voltages and measurements in...
Now I have some voltages that before, with 20v, I didn't have.
P_IN - 5.2v
AUX_DET - 1v
SMC_RST_IN - 0
VDDA - 5v
VDDP - 5v
EN_MVR - 0
AUX_OK - he is an NC, is that right?
AMON - 0
BMON - 0
Sorry, I haven't checked yet. But CD3215 have changed. Do I test the U7000 even with them strange?
I checked the LDO lines in diode mode and all four are OK. But the voltages are strange. I no longer have any of the 1.1v LDO line (with charger in the port for the CD3215). The 1.8v line only...
I had 20v, no battery. but during testing, it changed. Now I only have 5.2v and 0a. PPBus dropped to 1v.
I was checking the voltages and disconnected the source, when I connected it again, it was pulling 5.2v. What I managed to measure until I lost 20v.
P_IN - 20v
AUX_DET - 0
SMC_RST_IN - 0...
Did not work. I mounted the logic board on another Mac, it turns on with a charged battery, but it doesn't charge. The board doesn't turn on by itself!
Sorry, but I hadn't noticed. but it fluctuates between 0.03 and 0.08.
I have PPBUS_G3H (12.3v) and 3V3_G3H (3.3v) together.
Yes, all USB-C ports the same.
C7020 - 4.7ohms
C7023 - 4 ohms
Only the board on the charger doesn't turn on. It is at 20v 0.08a.
The board with a charged battery turns on. When I connect the charger, it stays at 20v, goes 4a for 1 second and drops again.
I checked all CD3215s and they are OK. In all of them I have the 1.1, 1.8 and 3.3v line.
Just the...
Board still working. But, WiFi stopped. I found that PP3V3_G3S_WLAN shorted (diode mode 0.008).
When I put it on the charger, the U3730 gets very hot. Is it worth changing?
Yes, original charger.
It stayed on charge for around 1 hour. Then I turned it off, took out the charger. Today I went back to test, everything had toasted.
The board is perfect. no oxidation.
Do I put the new chips in and test?
I ended up removing them all. On each chip, the 3V3_UPC line was shorted, when removing the chip, the short ended. I didn't say it, but the U3100 was causing a short on the PP3V3_G3H_RTC line.
Since I already made the mistake of removing them all, any tips?
The Mac had its logic board replaced in another service with a board that came from China! It arrived to me without working. All CD3215 chips were shorting the PP3V3_UPC, the U3200 had a burn mark.
I replaced the four chips and the Mac turned on again, I tested all the ports, and the battery...
I'm testing with an original 140w charger. Only the board, it is stuck at 20v and 0.08v. When there is a battery, the board turns on, I feel the trackpad click and it keeps restarting.
C9522 was oxidized and shorted. but the problem continued.
It goes into DFU mode, I just tried to revive, it...
