ok thats cool it boots at least )
All tests were done with the mb outside the case, so normally all cables are already disconnected
But i'll try again.
What kind of usb activity should I expect ?
Because I don't have fan spin, nor I have an image on external monitor. The monitor seems to detect HDMI output as a source, but external monitor screen remains black
Hey thanks for your support
Ok I cleaned the oxidized area
All four port have basically same behaviour : it goes up to 0.9amp then drops to around 0.37 amps and drawing 20.41V
I don't see any damaged components, except that PP1V1 LDO pulls 0v instead of 1.1V on UB400,300 U3200,3100
here are...
Hey everybody
I've got a 820-00239 with no power
HISTORY : a customer brought this laptop with no power issue. He said that first there was image issue when moving the screen, but he was able to use it with an external monitor. After that, he said that the laptop stopped powering on at all...
Hey everybody
I've got A1502 EMC 2678 Macbook pro which doesn't power on. I'm getting amber light when plugged in but no fan spin.
HISTORY : customer dropped on flat surface.
I tested with two different screens still nothing : no chime, no backlight, no fan spin.
Here some measurements ...
just received new parts, the replaced was faulty indeed 😭
ALL GOOD NOW 😅
works like a charm
Thank you 2informaticos
Great support
Feeling empowered by this forum 🙌
hmmm how is that even possible :cry: 😅
ok i did all that 3 times(no exaggeration) with exact same results (so we can exclude bad soldering)
when original placed on U3200 and connected to upper port i'm getting correct voltages on all LDOs and getting 20V on that port
when the replaced is on...
Ok just received and installed a new CD3215C00 getting same reading as with CD3215B01
One port takes 20V the other one 5V, should both ports pulling 20V ?
On u3200 now the readings are correct
PP1V8_UPC_XB_LDOD - 1.8V / 0.48
hmm that would be unfortunate
How could that even be possible as I saw it boot and picture(no backlight)
and now it doesn't even turn on ?
couldn't it be a bad U7100 or U7210 ?
getting all those:
PM_EN_CPUVCC_R = 3.219V
CPU_VIDALERT_L = 111 mV
CPU_VCCST_PWRGD = 0.990V
F7000 = 13V
I...
ok invested in some usb-c amp meter ))
The board pulling 20V / 0.41A on both ports and CPU getting hot, so I suppose it boots
The U8400 does have VDDD - 5V but no FB on pin 21
I do get 13V on Q8400 - pin 4 and 12.96V on pin 3
but nothing on Drain pins 1,2,5,6
is the Q8400 dead ?
btw the...
loool
PP1V1_UPC_XB_LDO_BMC - is U3200 (my bad)
spent an hour reballing a foking wrong chip )) hahaha
Placed CD3215B01 from donor and was getting 20V on one of the ports, the other one stuck at 5V
Completely removed U3100 (donor chip) and back to 5V 0.2A
Indeed is not the same code - needed...
