    820-01987 pp3v3_s5 pulsing 20v 0.019A

    Hi all,

    Need some assistance with a 1987. History is its chassis was completely crushed trackpad and screen were shattered not sure how but it seems like it was ran over. Board visually seems fine doesn't look warped no visible cracks in anything board side.

    went through the power sequence diagram on logiwiki for the 01055 because there doesn't seem to be one for the 1987? All rails up until pp3v3s5 are present. Found out that pp3v3s5 and pp1v8s5 are coming on when you first connect the board but they shutdown after around 15 seconds or so.It seems like the PMIC is detecting a short on a minor sub rail and shutting down.

    so the question is are there any signature faults with the PMIC and the 820-01987? Unfortunately I do not have a thermal camera so I'm hoping there's a shortcut I can follow. Freaking seeks have gone from 500 to 900 hence why I've been putting it off, not to mention we don't do much of this so it's hard to justify spending a grand for a once in a blue moon job.

    thanks for the assistance!

    Great, looks like somethings burned out now the usb c meter is only giving 5V .2A. I went to check S3 & S0 rails, and they were also pulsing. Checked PP1v_s3 & PM_SLP_S0_L. Then went to check ALL_SYS_PWRGD and that's where the charger started outputting 5V 0.200A in all 4 orientations of the usb c cable.

      Should a fully updated A1708 be able to detect this board if I force it into DFU mode? repairwiki notes you must have a mac updated to the latest OS so I'm not sure if a A1708 should work as you obviously cannot install the latest OS on those.

      all sys pwr good is present for a split second than it shuts off. Traced it back and looks like the PMIC is shutting down hence why PP3v3_S5 and all following rails are coming up for a split second than disappearing. It looks like the T2 firmware is corrupted as both AWAKE and SLPS2R are present and stable so it seems like the T2 requires a DFU restore but I don't want to force it into DFU if I do not have a machine which will be able to detect it.

        Disregard the above it was my USB C meter trolling me again. Switched sides on the USB C input cable a few times and now were back to 20V. Freaking china, why can't they make a single reliable device.!

          820-00165 pulsing and stuck at S5
          by speggio91
          Hello everyone!

          I have this board that got slightly water damanged and it is stuck at S5 state. It pulses once every 5 seconds.
          When connected the magsafe 2 to the bench psu, the current goes from 0.02A to 0.10A when is pulsing.

          When using the genuine magsafe 2 charger, the light turn on and it became green and then amber. The fan is not spinning.
          When I tried the SMC bypass mode, the fan spins a quarter every 5 seconds and the pulsing is still present every time the fan spin.

          The pulses are present in the CPU Vcore rails on L7320 and L7310....

          Apple MBP16" A2141 820-01700 PMIC power cycles no boot no shorts
          by flusher
          Bought myself a project thing. Apple MBP16" A2141 820-01700
          No shorts, no visible waterdamage.
          Dead. no history.
          All USBC ports do 20V and charging battery.
          If you plug battery/charger PPBUS is 12.6v and all power rails like RTC, 3v3, 5v etc are present. U7800 PMIC all voltages are present APART from PPVCCPRIMCORE_PRIM_REG (not sure if it has to be present at this stage?! resistance is 40 Ohm). SSD 2.5, 0.9, 1.8 are present on both wings. Charger meter shows 30ma or something like this on charged battery.
          But what PMIC does is that it power cycles(dropping to...

          Sonos Play 1 pulsing power supply
          by Goldwing1973
          I'm rather new to repairing electronics, i do know the basics of most components but never actually repaired a PCB, but i want to change that.
          So, i bought a faulty Sonos Play 1 speaker with the intention of finding the fault, and replace the damaged part.
          Well, i did find the fault, i replaced parts that i thought caused the problem, but no-go.

          The problem is a pulsing power supply, when i connect the mains to the board and hook up my thermal cam i see R306,307 and 308 getting warm, but i assume that's normal.
          But, whats is not normal is the pulsing of resistor...

          MBA 13 2020 820-01958 Pulsing 5V_G3S
          by MobileXT
          I have a MBA 13" 2020 820-01958 that was pulsing on 5V_G3S and P1V8_G3S power Rail. Also pulsing on the enabled PIN on U7650 PIN4. Pulsing on P5VG3S_EN R7613 PIN 1. Anybody has the same problem? any idea was causing the power rail pulsing. I don't see shorted on the board. Thanks

          Macbook Air 820-00165 board power pulsing twice and missing PM_SLP_S4_L
          by ronyan
          I have a 820-00165 board that is power pulsing twice going from drawing 34mA up to ~350mA then back down to 34. No fan spin. It is missing the PM_SLP_S4_L signal. As I have no previous experience with this particular problem, I've been measuring a lot and have already replaced U1900 and U1950. I've also replaced R5513 near the SMC that looked corroded. The behavior of the power pulsing twice has not changed.

          I've watched some of Louis' youtube videos on the issue and have checked the SPI resistors for continuity and they are good, probe points are also excellent, no signs of corrosion....
