    Macbook Pro A2289 - 820-01987 - No video output

    Hello,
    I have this MacBook with a pretty clean motherboard battery that has only 4 cycle counts but no video output on screen, even with external screen.
    I tried to restore with Apple Configurator and it can finish this process sucessfully but still no video output (usually during restore with dfu mode a apple logo will appear)

    I also followed T2 power sequence and seem like all power are up and running ( I got this signal ALL_SYS_PWRGD)

    CPU get warm, fan spin, touchpad clicking, no chime sound, current draw around 0.6A without battery.

    Do you guys have any suggestions in this case?

    Thank you

    Have you checked RTG on all CPU/eGPU coils?

      I just reflow the RAM and it's now working fine.

      Thank you for the information from your topic.

        Way to go! Yes I suspected a possible RAM issue on some of these, and will try to reflow some later to see.

          Onkyo HT-R390 no sound output, video output ok
          by FrancescoV
          Good morning everyone,
          I'm trying to repair an onkyo ht-r390 that has no sound output, despite the volume being at maximum, the rest seems to work; the video output signal (coming from an hdmi input) is present, but the audio is absent. Similar situation if I send an audio signal from any input I have no output.

          The firmware reported is the following:
          M:1.00/11107BLP
          D:?.??/????????
          O:1.00/11107AL

          The DSP firmware given the question marks seems corrupt.

          On the BCHDM-0678 - 25140678 - QPWBCHDM0678A0 board the chip that usually seems...

          MacBook Pro A2289 (820-01987-A) No boot/image, but boots to DFU
          by baglaivlad
          Hi everyone. Just a reminder I am not a professional repair technician, fixing Apple electronics is my hobby.

          Recently got my hands on MacBook Pro A2289 with interesting behavior. Pristine condition, no water damage, no visual issues whatsoever. It has no image, no CapsLock, no life except the fan is spinning. But it is able to boot into DFU and recognized by another MacBook. I tried to revive and restore the laptop, but the process ends when the MacBook usually should show an Apple logo with a progress bar. I assume the main power lines and T2 are working. It seems like the Intel...

          macbook pro M1 a2338 no video on internal display PP3V3_S2 short
          by sdogs
          Greetings to the entire forum, I ask you for help because I'm going crazy. A dear friend of mine gave me a macbook pro M1 A2338 that only works with an external screen. With the internal one, no backlight or image. Only the external display is detected from the system settings.
          First I changed the display flat, then I made a backup with time machine and tried a reset in dfu but nothing to do, always the same problem.
          I analyzed the logic board, it shows no sign of liquid or visible damage. I then moved on to examine the logic with the thermal camera and found that the UP701 chip was...

          MacBook Pro A2289 no signs of life except clicking trackpad and charging
          by Woodsworth
          Hi,

          I hope this is the correct place to post about this device. I originally posted regarding this on iFixit so see the details from that post below:

          "I'm hoping someone can give their opinion on the symptoms I'm seeing before I spend any more time and put money into this. I got this MacBook from a customer and after looking at it they decided they didn't want it.

          It doesn't turn on and there's no visual signs of life. I have tried resetting the NVRAM, SMC, power cycling, unplugging the battery, using the charger with the battery unplugged. Removed the...
