    Macbook A2141 - Charging Sign

    Hello Namaste!

    I have a macbook a2141 that shows the charging sign when the charger is plugged in but doesnt turn on.

    PPBUS_G3H is a good 12.6V.
    The amp meter shows its drawing 20V.

    The board is clean. I couldnt find any shorted component on the 2v5 SSD lines but the voltage is 0V. Resistance is also 100 Ohms i think it should be 400 ohms.

    DFU Revive gets stuck in the middle / I get apple logo and loading bar on the screen. Then i get the lock sign on the Configurator.

    Even did a DFU Restore. Same thing happened.

    Can anyone help?

      Update - When i press the Power Button / Trackpad, the Fan Starts to spin and the charging logo comes up on the screen. At that time the 2v5 SSD Lines have voltage.

          ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
          by flat-earther
          The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

          Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

          This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
          Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
          If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...

          MacBook Pro 2018 - A1990 Dead - not charging - only 5V
          by robka
          Hi,

          my MacBook Pro 15" 2018 Touch Bar (A1990) doesn't charge anymore. Board# 820-01041-A

          I'm not experienced in diagnostics, but I want to try to solve the problem with your help, because every local shop charges around 600€ (650 usd). Which is the value of the whole Macbook.

          The Macbook was charging when suddenly the "charging sound" appeared every other second for around 4-5 times.
          After that the Macbook was dead. It isn't charging anymore.

          The USB-C Port where the charger was plugged is burned. Also The Cable and the...

          Macbook Pro 16" A2141 screen artefacts, kernel panic
          by sofles
          Hi there.

          I have Macbook Pro 16" 2019, model number A2141, motherboard number 820-01700. I have some problem with dedicated graphic card. When Macbook switches to dedicated GPU it is getting instantly hot and starts to show glitches on screen, then it freezes (trackpad is not clicking anymore) and shuts down.
          I tried to reinstall MacOS But it was a pain, it started to show glitches in middle of installation and I could not finish it. I only was able to reinstall MacOS when I put Macbook outside (it is winter and -2 Celcius).

          Now situation looks like this, If...

          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...
