Situation got worse.
Now it only turns on without a battery. I tested with 85w and now I have a problem with 45w, without LED and low PPDCIN.
Q7010 - without battery and with magsafe 45w
1 - 15v
4 - 6.7v
5 - 15v
U7100 - is there any point in measuring without battery power?
I discovered that the voltage drops more. it ended up with 2v. But only when the battery is connected. I measured directly on the J7000.
I replaced the R/D7012 and Q7010 to test, same problem. I tested the charger without the q7010, the PPDCIN on the j7000 had a stable 15v with the battery...
The problem only happens with the board, dc and battery.
I noticed that the entire PPDCIN_G3H line drops the voltage, it drops even when connected to the 45w charger. I replaced the Q7180, but it didn't solve the problem.
It looks like a leaky component. But I can't find it.
Without battery with 45w
PPBus - 8.56v
PP3V42 - 3.42v
With 45w battery
PPBus - 8.16v
PP3V42 - 3.42v
With 85w battery
PPBus - 8.26v
PP3V42 - 3.42v
I ran the ASD without the battery, it gave an error in the battery sensors
Sensor - Temperature (TBOT) -- Battery Thermal Diode 0 (test 1)
Sensor -...
The problem returned.
I thought something was crazy. It doesn't recognize just MagSafe 45w. I tested it with two different and original chargers, it doesn't charge the battery and doesn't even light the LED.
When I put the MagSafe 85w (original), it charges the battery and lights up.
I replaced...
There was oxidation on the U8070, I replaced it, but it still doesn't recognize it. The PP3V3_S0SW_SSD_FET_R with the SSD is 1.2v and without the SSD 2.4v. I've already changed it twice.
U8070
1 - 3.3v
2 - 3v
5 - 1.2v with SSD - 2.4v without SSD
7 -3.3v
U3740
With SSD
1 - 3.4v
2 - 0.3v
3 - 3v...
Because of pin 13, I analyzed the area near U7501.
The R7539 was altered on the board, outside the board measuring 20k. I compared it in diode mode with another board, pin 1 on the R7539 was 0.500 and on the good board it was 0.740. I changed the C7539 and now I have 20k on the R7539. The board...
When it doesn't recognize the charger, I don't have any light. Battery icon on MacOs also shows charger connected.
I had already tested the ISL, pins 17.18 - 4ohms, 27.28 - 20ohms
The Mac turns on, do I test it in SMC bypass mode to check if it charges the battery?
