    Macbook Batteries to watch out for

    A2141, A1707 , A1990 batteries now being sold as new oem. But look at what these companies are doing now… pics attached


    They are pulling batteries off macbooks and slapping adhesive on them and repacking them now and selling them as new all over eBay. I came across a MacBook Pro 14” with this happening now. Careful guys. These are dangerous batteries.

      File a complaint against the vendor through the Ebay portal.

          That must be the worst I have seen in a long time, I have other issues with some of the Youtube content (Lots of chancers on there as well) No ESD precautions taken, the problem is others assume they know what they are doing, and do the same!

          Thanks for your time in posting this, Regards Ian G

              Cyberpower cps1500avr not charging batteries
              by carrzkiss
              Hello, all.

              Cyberpower Battery Backup Unit.

              I bought two new ML18-12 batteries through Amazon (They have already refunded my money for the two batteries as we thought the batteries might have been bad.)
              When I got them in, they were not fully charged. I connected them to the UPS and waited 24 hours before connecting any networking equipment.
              In parallel, they read 24v, but within 24 hours, the meter on the front of the unit dropped from 4 to 3 bars on the battery charge indicator.
              Checking the voltage, it was down to 22v.
              I quickly removed everything...

              MacBook Pro 2018 with Activation Lock
              by envym
              Hi everyone!

              I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (with Sequoia OS) that I've been using for years with no problem. I recently received an M2 MacBook Pro so I'm mostly using it and not the 2018 one, but since a friend of mine needs a computer, I thought I could restore my 2018 and give it brand-new-like to my friend.

              I tried using the built-in tool to restore the MacBook (Settings > General > Transfer or restore > Delete) but it got stuck when trying to remove the Find Device configuration (it asked me for the password for my old Apple ID -now I use the same account but...

              Apple Watch Charging Controller Schematics / Boardview - 820-02601
              by a_p3rson
              Hi there,

              I'm looking for anyone who might have information on Apple's embedded Apple Watch charging daughterboard, ID 820-02601. This is currently used by Anker in their Apple Watch charging products, but likely by other Apple partner brands as well.

              You can see the board referenced in ChargerLab's teardown of the Anker Y1811 3-in-1 MagSafe cube - they discuss the "Apple Watch wireless charging circuit" about 2/3rds down the page. It's not pictured, but the board ID reads 820-02601-A, which sure sounds like Apple.
              This daughterboard uses an interesting...

              General question about MacBook power rails for repair.
              by SarcasticOP
              I am looking at an A2337 and found this for the order of power rails and what they do. Can this be confirmed before I dive into hunting down power rails that do not exist or are not neccisary?
              • PPBUS_G3H (12.6V-12.8V)
                • This is the main power rail that supplies power to the entire system. Check this rail first, as it must be present for other power rails to work.
              • PP3V42_G3H (3.42V)
                • This power rail is derived from PPBUS_G3H and is used to power the SMC (System Management Controller) and other essential circuits. It should be present if PPBUS_G3H is working correctly.
              • PPVRTC_G3H (3.3V)
                • This
              ...
