    iMac M1 24”

    Hey got a broken screen replacement and I know Apple definitely paired these LCDS to the board. I have the screen removed and it seems very easy to just swap the IC chips on the boards easily. However I don't know what this boards IC chip looks like. I would like to know where the IC chip is that has the true tone information on it. Can you point me to the right area? This also would help repair shops do 24” LCD swaps when they are cracked with known non cracked ones.

          Basically bumping this up. I am trying to locate the secondary True Tone chip that belongs to the iMac 24" M1. There are two chips that control that information and help retain the iMacs screen functionality fully. I have attached an MacBook Air 15" M2 as a reference on what chips you need to replace in order to retain True Tone etc. The iMac 24" M1 has one similar chip however, the other chip is nowhere to be found on the iMac 24" M1 board that is similar to 14" 15" and 16" MacBooks with M1, or M2 chips. If you guys can help me locate the second chip, I would like to be able to do a True Tone repair video for this model and future models. Any thoughts on where the second chip is located on the board? If you want me to take a full screen pic please let me know. I have tried to find it but there are no schematics for this board so I am going out of the dark here.

                      U250 appears to be a flash device - see the nearby SPI test points. If this is a stock flash device, make at least 2 backups with verify before considering to erase and test with experiments.

                          Hi guys, if you have the original LCD with working True Tone. You can swap the light sensor from the old display to the new one and should retain True Tone.

                              Really? Have you confirmed this before? Have you tested this?

                                  I discovered this myself and have done it a couple times on 24".

                                  Noticed it when I was learning taking these screens apart to clean dirt and had cut the cable on the light sensor by mistake unknowingly the first couple times and they had lost True Tone function.

                                      Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
                                      by acedogblast
                                      This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                                      There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                                      Acer e15-e5-576g-5762 bricked. Bios chip won't interface in AsProgrammer.
                                      by inck243
                                      Thanks for any help. The board version is DAZAARMB6E0 REV: E. The bios chip is winbond 25Q64JVSIQ1736. W25Q64JV is not available in AsProgrammer -- only BV CV FV or FW_1.8c. The chip won't interface with asProgrammer and a CH341A. When I have this chip on the board, the laptop will not post but when I plug it in to power, the blue LED lights up, also the orange when the battery is connected. When I push the power on button, keyboard backlight turns on and the fan starts briefely then turns off. But I can't do anything to program this bios chip so I bought another one.

                                      The BIOS...

                                      Hello, first of all, excuse me, I am using the translator, English is not my native language.

                                      I have a Lenovo ideapad 330S - 14IKB laptop.



                                      The tablet did not recognize me when I connected it, so I checked the device manager and I realized that there were many with the exclamation mark, so one by one I began to update their drivers until the sign disappeared of admiration, I even updated the BIOS, and the laptop rebooted normally and worked, so far so good, but the tablet still did not recognize me, I read on the internet that it could be due to a...

                                      How can I be sure that my EC chip is dead?

                                      Hi all,

                                      As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?

                                      I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.

                                      Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard...

                                      Elitebook 840 G5 Bios Chip Soldering Question
                                      by Azurain
                                      Hi everyone,

                                      I have an HP Elitebook 840 G5 that I am trying to get working again. I've removed the front bios chip (the 32mb one) and have run it through HP unlocker already. I've uploaded and verified the new bin, but am now experiencing an issue that has led me to believe I've been soldering the chip back to the motherboard incorrectly.

                                      Essentially, after re-soldering the chip back into its place and reassembling the laptop, the charging light immediately flashes orange and white and then shifts to a solid white. The capslock and numlock lights blink seven times...
