    Macbook Pro 2016 A1707 820-00281-A not booting

    Hi, I got the macbook pro 2016 820-00281-A that doesnt boot, I checked almost all rails and they are present, didnt find any short and the amp sequence looks ok but doesnt boot. trackpad enabled, keyboard shift key light not present, when I insert a usb stick its light turns on for a sec. but then no activity. with display disconnected and connected to external monitor same problem. I reflashed the bios with a clean me bin that I downloaded from this forum no difference.

    L7211, L7221, L7231 on boot: 1.112 then 0.700 A

    PCH and other chips get hot but not really hot (please see pics)
    The videos are the amperage behaviour while booting, the first is with the battery attached, the second is without battery attached. When the battery is connected doesnt make one reboot cycle. I think the battery is already charged because before with the battery connected it was using like 1Amp more. Both videos are with the board connected (everything connected) I tried disconnecting one by one trackpad, keyboard, touchpad, etc and same problem.

      Could be bad GPU.

      See here:

      No image, EDP_PANEL_PWR_EN missing, machine taking 20 V and 1.4 A at the first kick then 20 V 0.9 A and the current was dropping down to 0.8 A -> 0.6 A -> 0.4 A

        by leonemax81
        Hi guys I have a Macbook a1707 with motherboard 820-00281, without liquid damage that behaves strangely, with the battery connected the Macbook does not turn on and the USBC meter stops at 5v in loop, when I disconnect the battery the Macbook turns on and works fine, I have already tried to replace the battery twice without success, as soon as I connect the black cable of the battery the Macbook does not turn on, it stops at 5v and in loop.

        Macbook a1707 2017 model 820-00928 GPU issue
        by sofles
        Hello there

        I have problem with Macbook Pro 15" 2017, model 2017, MB code 820-00928.

        I bought it as broken with some artefacts on the screen, first I thought that this is problem with ribbon cable but after inspectiing ribbon cable I know it is fine. I tried to reinstall macOs and then I figured out that this must be something with GPU as installation freezes at the end (when drivers are loaded). I installed Windows and was able to install every each of drivers except GPU driver, as soon as I tried to install GPU driver - black screen and restart.

        Apple MacBook A1707 No Audio/Sound
        by tommy97
        Hi,

        I'm having an issue with an A1707 MacBook Pro—there's no audio output. Initially, the MacBook came in with a no-power problem, and I found a faulty U6400, which I've now replaced. The laptop now powers on, but there's still no sound.

        I've also replaced U6300, but the problem persists.

        Here are the current voltage readings:
        • PPV18_S0: 1.8V
        • R6402: 1V
        • R6405: 1V
        • R6403: 1V
        • AUD_SPKRAMP_RESET_L: 1.3V
        • PPBUS: 12.6V

        Macbook Air A1466 820-3437-B Booting Problem
        by psdavid65
        I received a 2013 Macbook Air A1466 820-3437-B motherboard with serial number C02L6GQ9FSV8 that came in WITHOUT a bios chip. I got a new bios chip and reprogrammed it. Macbook now powers on but doesn't boot the SSD. I've flashed a ton of bios but still same problem. Windows installation works with this Macbook but never a mac installation. Unfortunately, since I didn't receive this macbook with a bios chip, I don't have the original bios. What can I do now?...
