Hi,
here i have another board, that had power issue... i replaced Q7130 and U7100 and now i have 16-20v on F7140. Between pins 27/28 on U7100 there is 20 ohms resistance, too much, right? I have replaced two U7100 and the result is the same... i have also replaced c7120,c7121,c7122,r7121,r7122...
Still didnt work from the battery and then i put it in another housing... and it works there!? It is a battery problem after all. Interesting, because this was not water damaged. Does apple has some extra warranty for these batteries? Lesson learned.
Finally... i used U7100 from a doner board and now i have 12,4v and CPU gets hot... will install it and see how is with the battery now. Maybe bad q7130 was killing U7100...
Hi again,
Shorted charger is solved, q7130 was shorted. I use original 85w.
"Check resistance between pins 17/18 and 27/28 of the ISL" - There is no resistance.
R7151/R7152 to R7150, resistors are ok, all traces are good.
C7125 is ok, but only around 4v there.
Now i have green/orange again...
Ok, i carefully replaced U7100 again and then i got 19,9V on ppbus_g3h. I decided to replace few capacitors that looked a little suspicious from the water damage and now the charger is somehow shorted. When i connect the charger it sparks on second pin and there is no light on charger. I removed...
0,2V on pin15 was measured with only charger connected. I will try with the battery too, if it is possible to connect it... and make a measure at the same time. Tomorrow i will make suggested... Thanks!
Battery status is Good, 234 cycles and it has 96% capacity. On battery simbol there is message “Battery is not charging”.
I wonder if this has something to do with a water damage that was around U3210 and U3400? I replaced 2 capacitors there and recovered a burned connection to the C3286. I...
You were right... i have replaced U7100 again and now it works again and i am back to the primary problem, it still works only with charger attached. It sees battery, but it wont work from the battery. I have replaced Q7155, but it is still the same. Any suggestions?
Thank you for support.
I have applied solder on the solder pads on the board.. and checked after soldering, joints look all good.
I have checked for resistance on points you suggested:
PIN 2 90kohm
PIN 4 600kohm
PIN 19 1,2Mohm
PIN 20 500kohm
R7120 650kohm
F7140 On Pin 2 i get around 60 ohms...
Hi,
i have mannaged to screw two 820-4924 boards somehow. Both had some power issues, not working from battery... so i replaced U7100 and after replacement there was no PPBUS_G3H any more. Chips are new and soldered with hot air. I get green and orange light. There is power on pins 1 and 3 of...
