    MacBook A1989 overheating after liquid damage

    Hey everyone,

    Had a MacBook pro 13" 2018 (A1989) come in for liquid damage. The only liquid damage was all around UB400. It was most likely soda, so there wasn't that much corrosion. I reflowed the UB400 and the QB chips with some flux, and replaced the caps/resistors that were in bad shape. Seemed to be working fine at first, but the next day when testing it again, the laptop charges and boots fine, the CPU would overheat, and U7210 would get to 70 degrees Celsius as well. I'm testing with only screen and battery connected at this point.

    I can't figure out how the initial damage would be related to the CPU overheating, the rest of the board was completely clean. If someone could point in the right direction that would be great. Thanx in advance!

    Re: MacBook A1989 overheating after liquid damage

    Removed both CD3215's on the liquid damaged side just to make sure, fully cleaned and reballed. No result, although I did notice for a split second there's a red square around the apple logo when booting, I'll include a picture.

    It takes about 1 to 2 minutes for the cpu to get too hot and the machine starts lagging like crazy. Maybe I should just assume bad cpu?

      MacBook Pro A1989 liquid damage
      by MrBojangles
      Hi!

      First post here...

      MacBook Pro A1989 (820-00850-A) with liquid damage showing 5V.

      I clean the board with alcohol and I get 20V. Fans spin but no chime or image.

      I then check the board with a thermal camera and see a component, Q7030, that is hot. I clean extra around this area and now I'm back to 5V.

      So... that means it's time to learn how to use schematics and boardview and what I've learned so far is that PPBUS_G3H is the "always on" power mode.

      I've checked multiple components pertaining to PPBUS_G3H...

      A1466 Macbook Air (Liquid damage repair)
      by mon2
      Hi. Recently serviced a damaged A1466 Macbook Air. Thought to post the issues and resolution for each.

      Macbook AIR Model A1466 Diagnostic 09-01-2021

      Issue: Liquid damaged (beer spill) Macbook AIR will not power up.


      Problems & Resolutions

      1) Attached Apple magsafe power adapter. No green / no orange light. This confirms the absence of the PP3V42_G3H voltage rail. The PP3V42_G3H rail is the primary voltage rail necessary to communicate with the magsafe power adapter to report the green or orange light status to the end user....

      MacBook Pro 13inch 2017mid (A1706 820-00923-A) - liquid damage - USBC and Display short circuit
      by rilley
      Hello everyone,
      I am new into this, sorry to post it here. I want to make this as a pet hobby project, as this mac is not urgent.

      I have (Macbook Pro 13inch 2017mid) A1706 820-00923-A

      My mac had liquid damage a long time ago, the connector from J8500 is damaged on pin 46 (PP5V_S0_ALSCAM_F), I guess the LCD/display panel is in short circuit, as I saw the connector from the LCD burned as well.

      And the resistor L4004 is literally burned.

      From what I see from the schematics, it does not affect any other rails, only the connection to the display...

      Macbook A1708 - 5V/0A -no power- liquid damage.
      by martyjelen
      Hello, I have macbook a1708 with some liquid damage on PCB.

      I alredy tried to clean PCB with IPA. Stuck at 5V/0A

      PPBUS_G3H is missing > 0V

      I removed fuse F7000 to check voltage, but it's still the same > 0V.

      Diode reading on pad 1 is 576
      Diode reading on pad 1 is 460

      What should I check now? Thanks

      MacBook Pro A2338 liquid damage repair for a beginner?
      by dbuergi
      Hi all,

      i have a A2338 with water damage on the logic board. Cleaning it showed some heavier corrosion around U7000 and surrounding caps. Some are totally broke.
      I get 5,2v when using both USB-C Ports but until now i didn't make any more tests.
      Since i'm a beginner i want to know next possible steps. I'm not afraid replacing the intersil 9240hi but the other parts with 1mm or 2mm scare me and i don't know where to get replacements.
      I fixed other laptops but this ist my first apple device ....
