    A1990 820-01814 5v 0.2-0.3a

    Hello, got this a1990 for repair.
    Initialy thought some cd3215 is dead but no, i dont have cycleing on any ports and on all of the the readings are the same. I have all LDO voltages exept BMC. PPDCIN_G3H is ok. HvGate1 is 7.6v and gate2 is 11v. PP20V_USBC_XB_VBUS Is 5v. PP3V3_G3H is 0v , CHGR_VDDA is 5v , TP_CHGR_EN_VR1 is 5v.
    I'm ir right that maybe U7000 is dead? kinda lost and dont know where to look next, maybe some one has an advice?

      What is the voltage to ground of PPBUS_G3H @ F7000 or F7001 ?

      Check both sides of these fuses.

          PPBUS_G3H @ F7000 or F7001 Is 0v at bouth sides. Tested if the the fuse is good, and it is but i think i have a dead on short here because at resistance mode i have 5 ohm’s and at diode mode .04v

              Indeed. With low air pressure + flux, carefully remove F7000 and F7001 off the board.

              Then check the resistance to ground from the producer side (aka ISL9240 side) and the consumer side (downstream of the fuses).

              Post each measurement.

                  So today I removed the F7000 and F7001, at PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_REG side I have 0.8kOhm and at PPBUS_G3H side I have 4.7ohm.
                  If I understand correctly at this point I should inject voltage into it and see what becomes hot?

                      Correct. Keep the injection voltage @ 1 volt or less. Current as high as available on your DC power supply. No other power source.

                      Most likely you will find a shorted tantalum capacitor on the board that will crack under this pressure. Remove that capacitor and test again for the resistance to ground. If the resistance returns to a high level, solder back the fuses and check again.

                      Before soldering the fuses, confirm that the voltage from the ISL regulator is in the normal range for PPBUS_G3H = ~12 volts.

                      Respectively, the shorted cap is causing a high current draw and the ISL knows this via the current sense resistor so it is powering down this critical power rail.

                          Common issue on this model, check Paul’s clip first.

                              i9 32GB Ram 1TB

                              Hi, I found short on one of 6 black nand (total 1TB).
                              i removed all 6 nand ( voltages all ok) and now i want to program with JC P15 but for A1990 2019 there is only 512GB configuration.
                              I try A2141 1TB configurazion with TSB4228 but the position on pcb is different ( U9300 and U9400 is no stuff on A1990 but present on A2141 and U8800 and U8900 is no stuff on A2141 but present on A1990 )
                              macbook with A2141 configuration run on recovery but don't complete it.​
                              anyone can help me?

                              Hey everyone,

                              I bought a MacBook A1990 with no screen. I bought it knowing the motherboard was defective but wasn't sure what the problem was until I received it. It actually turns on but as you see from the attachment, it has vertical stripes, on an external screen!!

                              The board is neat. Not opened before for sure. Just a little dust, nothing more.

                              Recovery using wifi can be opened, as can also be seen in the photo but it doesn't go all the way through after connecting it to a wifi. It downloads the initial Recovery files but never completes the rest of the...

                              A1990 820-01326 stuck at 5v and 0.19A
                              by ahoonid
                              Hi everyone.

                              I have a MacBook Pro 15" A1990 touchbar with (I believe) a dedicated Vaga GPU. The exact Boardview and schematics doesn't seem to exist but I've been using the one for 820-01814 so far.

                              The MacBook doesn't turn on, stuck at 5v and drawing only 0.19A.

                              All 4 USB Cs ports behave exactly the same.

                              There's no PPBUS G3H available.
                              The resistance to ground from PPBUS G3H is 0.4 ohm. I have found the same resistance to PPBUS G3H from two coils near cpu/gpu area.

                              Since the boardview I have is different exactly in this...

                              MacBook A1990 — No Display With Battery Connected
                              by mavaro
                              Hi, I have a problem with MACBOOK A1990 - The laptop starts with no image when the battery is connected, but without the battery it starts with an image - however, when using only the power supply, when logging into the system it turns off and resets again.

                              Battery replaced with another unit → same problem.

                              ISL9239 replaced → no change.

                              SMBUS_BATT_SCL / SDA measure ~20-50kΩ to GND with battery disconnected (normal).

                              Any ideas or advice would be a huge help!
                              Thanks in advance for your time.​

                              A1990 2019 touchbar weird behaviour
                              by arashmoayyedizadeh
                              Hello to all of you engineers
                              i have a macbook pro a1990 in no power condition
                              another shop had done some works on it with no success (pm ic was reflowed, a little bit of flux around one of the type c rom ic, changing the charging ic)
                              initial state: 5v 0amps on all 4 type c sockets
                              after some inspections i realized the charging ic that another shop installed is isl9239
                              I changed it with right one (isl9240) and the machine turned on and booted into macos
                              weird behaviour:
                              Lcd works ok until it boots to os and as soon as you see login page it goes black...
