    harddrive from old macbook has 2.5 volt on pin 11.

    I have an old SATA hard drive from a macbook. The hard drive stopt working and I just wanted to have a look on the pcb. I can't find any fault in the small components but I cant find any datasheet on the IC's and so I don't know what I can expect. What I found odd was that pin 11 has 2.5 volts, and it's not ground as most pictures claim it to be. Does anyone know anything more about the 2.5 volts. it's a HGST harddrive AT 7 mm 2,5 inch. HDD: Z5K500-500. If I'm posing a stupid question, I'm sorry but I'm rather new in the electronics hobby. I'm looking for a new AT 7mm model but I can't find any below 1T and that's just a bit too expensive to me.

    Would the device accept a new SSD drive. I'm not really sure if Mac has any specifications on materials they use.

      MacBook Pro 2018 with Activation Lock
      by envym
      Hi everyone!

      I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (with Sequoia OS) that I've been using for years with no problem. I recently received an M2 MacBook Pro so I'm mostly using it and not the 2018 one, but since a friend of mine needs a computer, I thought I could restore my 2018 and give it brand-new-like to my friend.

      I tried using the built-in tool to restore the MacBook (Settings > General > Transfer or restore > Delete) but it got stuck when trying to remove the Find Device configuration (it asked me for the password for my old Apple ID -now I use the same account but...

      Macbook Pro DFU Restore Issues
      by Flasman90
      I have a 2020 Macbook Pro A2289 and after many attempts managed to get it into DFU mode, using my older 2017 A1706 Macbook Pro (Running Ventura 13.7.8). However, when attempting 'Restore', it fails at step 4 of 4, showing the following error:

      - "The operation couldn’t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error -1 - Failed to handle message type StatusMsg (Generic error)) [AMRestoreErrorDomain – 0xA (10)]
      - "The system cannot be restored on this device. Failed to create new state machine for restore [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore - 0xFB1 (4017)]

      General question about MacBook power rails for repair.
      by SarcasticOP
      I am looking at an A2337 and found this for the order of power rails and what they do. Can this be confirmed before I dive into hunting down power rails that do not exist or are not neccisary?
      • PPBUS_G3H (12.6V-12.8V)
        • This is the main power rail that supplies power to the entire system. Check this rail first, as it must be present for other power rails to work.
      • PP3V42_G3H (3.42V)
        • This power rail is derived from PPBUS_G3H and is used to power the SMC (System Management Controller) and other essential circuits. It should be present if PPBUS_G3H is working correctly.
      • PPVRTC_G3H (3.3V)
        • This

      A2941 Macbook air 15” - 5V 0a
      by obelix24
      I’m working on one macbook air 15” m2 that was water damaged.

      keyboard, lcd, microphone connectors were damaged so i’ve replaced all of them and without screen connected macbook worked fine. Keyboard &trackpad and also lid sensor was working fine.

      i’ve put macbook in shelf and order new screen so i can fully repair it.

      Now i got the screen and macbook stays at 5v 0a.

      i’ve tried if it’s not in DFU with another macbook but it’s not detected at all.

      i don’t have schematics so i don’t know where to start can someone help me?...
