Wow, talk about difficult to work on.
Nice design Apple.
So I've managed to disassemble this thing, and I'm looking at a power supply problem. Even without a load, it just goes tick tick tick.
This thing looks difficult to service. The startup cap is visible, but really hard to get to.
One thing I know without even measuring, the big cap is getting voltage.
How do I know? I disconnected the supply, had let it sit for a while.
When I picked it up, I lit up. Wow. Been a while since I had a good zap.
This is the first SMPS I've seen that didn't discharge within a few seconds.
