    Macbook A1278 Does not fully boot

    Hi,
    Namaste.

    I have a Macbook A1278 that doesnt fully boot up. I get the loading bar and it just becomes gray.
    Tried changing the SSD Cable and SSD. It does an external boot though.

    The board number is 820-2936.

    Did some random checking but all seems to be fine. Any leads as to what can be the problem?

      [Macbook pro A1708] [Boot loop] [Trackpad ?]
      by No Lan
      Hey everyone,

      Usually, I'm not the type to ask for help, but this time, I'm calling on your wisdom and expertise I've seen what this community can do, so I'm pretty sure you guys can help me out.

      Here's the deal: I noticed my MacBook got stuck in a boot loop. After opening it up and doing some initial troubleshooting, I found that the boot loop stops only when the trackpad is unplugged.

      Now, just so you know, the trackpad actually works — I tested it with another motherboard and it's all good. Same for the cable, no issues there. The problem is only...

      Macbook 820-00165 will not fully boot
      by Instafixx
      Hello,
      Namaste.

      I have a Macbook A1466 820-00165. The machine boots up. Chimes. Apple Logo.
      Progress Bar.

      It comes to the login screen and then after 3 seconds it turns off.

      If i press the on/off key it ll again turn on and then turn off the same way.

      No corrosion on the board.

      Tried removing the SSD and booting. Same issue. The question mark folder will appear and it ll turn off.

      After it turns off i still have a stable PPBUS_G3H and PP3V42 etc.


      What can be the issue...

      Looking for 13" Macbook Pro A1278 mid 2012 820-2565-A Schematics and Board View
      by Rezendes
      Hello, I am looking for any and all files related to the mainboard for 820-2565-A (13" Macbook Pro A1278 mid 2012) schematics/board view.

      I looked through forum search results and google and was unable to find a board view file, I found a pdf of all the schematics but I don't know where the parts physically are on the board as this is my first macbook board level repair attempt.

      The macbook charger has a green light, the battery has been replaced and OS reports Normal status but Not charging. After cleaning a corroded capacitor it crumbled off the board. There...

      Macbook Pro mid 2015 battery required to boot?
      by twonk9098
      I have read many forums that state the Macbook Pro 2015 needs / does not need a battery to boot. I'm not convinced as yet which is correct.
      The Macbook Pro mid 2015 I have has no battery and do not really want to buy one just to test.
      This model has the newer trackpad which is not clickable when turned off.
      At the moment, without battery it does turn on with no display (with backlight), no chime and then turns off after 13 seconds. I see this from the power draw on my DTPS.
      If I hold the power button whilst connecting the magsafe 2 charger it turns on, again no image but...
