    Hi mon2,

    Sorry. Its been a long time. Encountered an RTA that left me out of action for about 8 months. Just got back on my feet after long sessions of PT. I still have this board and am still interested to find out more about the voltage drop.

    1. Which SMBUS pins were your referring to?
    2. Are we talking about L7130?

    Much appreciated.

    Regards

      Welcome back. Hope you are feeling better.

      Measure the voltage to ground of:

      SMBUS_SMC_5_G3_SCL
      SMBUS_SMC_5_G3_SDA


      CHGR_DCIN (pin # 2 of U7100)

      PPDCIN_G3H

        mon2 Thank you, mon2. It has been a long time.

        Before I took measurements, I found that R7080 was missing. Probably misplaced or removed during the probe. It is a 0 ohm resistor. Would it be fine if I run a jumper wire in place of R7080 for the time being until the replacement arrives so that we could gather the readings?

          Hi mon2,

          Received the replacement 0 Ohm resistor today. Will share the voltages shortly.

            Yes, 0 ohm resistors are essentially jumpers so a blob of solder will also be ok.

              SMBUS_SMC_5_G3_SCL : 3.393
              SMBUS_SMC_5_G3_SDA : 3.391V .




              CHGR_DCIN : 14.59 V (pin # 2 of U7100)

                Correction: From the following reference - this voltage is ok:

                Macbook Power on Sequences - IT-Tech Online

                and also from the above:
                SMC will use SMBus to communicate with U7100 to adjust the PPBUS_G3H power rail from base voltage 8.1V to the standard voltage 8.45V.

                Share the voltage of DCIN_ISOL_GATE to ground.


                Are you using the correct power adapter for this laptop?

                Remove all power. Meter in resistance mode.

                Confirm the resistance of the following resistors:

                R7012
                R7010
                R7011

                  Hi mon2

                  YES. I am using the OEM 45watts Magsafe 2 charger.

                  R7012 : 68K. I had to replace this as it looked a bit off. But I substituted 0402 which is the only package size I got locally. International orders will take upto a month to arrive. So had to resort to this. Should I replace it with the same package size?

                  R7010 :100K

                  R7011 : 10 K.

                  Regards

                    The resistors are fine. Any fan spin? Does your caps key led toggle?

                          Reviewing this thread, sounds like SMC not running (PPBUS_G3H is low and no light on charger). Check the following:

                          PP3V42_G3H present @ C5002
                          PP3V3_S5_SMC_VDDA @ C5001
                          PP3V3_S5_AVREF_SMC @ C5125
                          PP1V2_S5_SMC_VDDC @ C5010

                          (Often have corroded or shorted caps in these areas around the SMC).

                          SMC_RESET_L should be high
                          Check for 12Mhz clock at either side of R5110. DC bias from memory is roughly 1V.

                          If you don't have status LED on the charger, and SYS_ONEWIRE is 3.3V, very likely you need to replace the SMC. You can always try a reflow or reball first, but usually in this state its a dead SMC.

                            Hi reformatt,

                            Thank you for jumping in to help. It has been a while that I followed up on this. I shall check for the above said voltages. If I am to replace the SMC, what sources can u recommend to buy donor boards?

                            mon2 has been helping me all this while and he is awesome. You too.

                            May i request you to take a look at one of my other threads. I shall post the link to that below.

                              A1466 820-3437-B Bios Problem
                              by psdavid65
                              I received a 2013 Macbook Air A1466 A1466 820-3437-B motherboard 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?

                              Need assistance for reballing / replacing i5 CPU on a Macbook A1466
                              by dbuergi
                              Hi all,

                              i have some A1466 logicboards for gaining soldering and electronic experience. One board has a dead CPU and since i have several spares i want to change it. Unsoldering it was no problem but heat from the top showed that the CPU bent. I think too much heat was the problem.
                              So for unsoldering my spare parts and soldering back i would ask for some advises.
                              On most youtube videos you don't get any temperatures. Only helpfull video was one where the heat came from the bottom.
                              I have a small USB heating plate and a Atten ST-862D with several nozles.

                              by myth77
                              I didnt know where to ask (on what topic) but does anyone know can i use macbook air A1369 TOP CASE (with or without palmrest and keyboard) on A1466? they look the same but i am not sure. On aliexpress they sell them as same but on some places they sell only a1466 for a1466. anybody knows? Maybe the case/housing is the same but keyboard and touchpad different? but if thats the case i would change them..
