    [HELP]a1990 820-01041 NOBOOT, STRANGE!

    Hi to all...820-01041 no liquid spill...3 usb ports stuck on 5v, the other board totally dead

    strange thing is that i have 0v on fuse f3000....

    how is it possible?

    connector on board is good, no shorts on PP20V_USBC_XA_VBUS

    i have also swapped usb-c flat with the one of the otherside with no luck...any hel?

    Thanks

        Re: [HELP]a1990 820-01041 NOBOOT, STRANGE!

        so first port on the left, 5v @ 0.172amp
        second port on the left, 5v @ 0,033amp
        first port on the right, 5v @ 0,030amp
        second port on the righ, no voltage no amp (ampmeter stays off)



        PP3V3_UPC_XB_LDO 0v on each cd3215

          Test with known good type c connectors/paddle board.

          Check the resistance to ground of the port that remains dark. That could be stopping the others from working.

          What is the history of this unit?

          Have not seen this model but follow the 20v article by @Piernov.

            Provided the USB-C connector isn't burnt etc, the most obvious target is the CD3215 on the dead port (or a shorted cap around it). If that one is dead, then the other won't go to 20V.

                like i said before, i already check for usb c connector, swapping the one on the right, with the one on the left...

                so you tell me i should change the cd3251 of the "broken" port.

                just one questione: how is it possible that in the broken port i cant find 5v on the mainboard, even near the connector????

                where can i find the 20v article? thanks

                  CC1/CC2 are required from that controller to the charger for it to even enable 5V. The controller is supposed to then negotiate with the charger via PD protocol to get your 20V etc. So again, if there aren't any shorted caps around the chip, then it's most likely dead. Sometimes they get a hole in the top of them.

                      what is cc1/cc2?

                        Cc1 and cc2 are the contacts on the usb type c connectors. These pins are used to communicate with the external power adapter using a single wire communication (BMC format). Check their resistance to ground without any power. The esd tvs diode may be damaged on the pin(s).

                          Ok now i have 5v@0,269 on all 4 ports...and 3,3v ldo on all 4 ports

                          now?

                            It's an A1990, so first thing to rule out is that the NAND's aren't shorted due to a failed U9080. Usually PPBUS_G3H is also shorted when that happens.

                              ppbus is not shorted...i've check all caps/inductance around u9080...no shorts! so what's next?

                              why should i don't focus on charing section?

                              thank you very much

                                i have all ldo's...

                                i have PPDCIN_G3H
                                i have TBA_VDDA (PPCHGR_VDDA)
                                i have PM_EN_P3V3_G3H (NC_CHGR_EN_VR1)
                                i have PP3V3_G3H

                                i can't find in schematic PP1V2_G3H_SMC_VDDC or PP1V2_S5_SMC_VDDC
                                i can't find in schematic PP3V0_G3H_AVREF_SMC or PP3V0_S5_AVREF_SMC
                                if it is PP3V0_G3H_RTC, i have 3,3v

                                i can't find SMC_RST, if it is TP_CHGR_SMC_RST_L, i have 1,7 and not 3v

                                  Troubleshoot using the power sequence MON2 linked above. Some power rails won't come on till the T2 is running, and for that, you need functional NAND's to load Bridge OS. You won't get 20V until the T2 is running. See if you can connect via DFU to do a revive first.

                                          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?

                                          Good day everyone,

                                          Let me preface this with letting you know that I have a smalltime computer repair shop but do not have a lot of experience when it comes to board diagnostics. I am good at soldering etc but finding the issue if there isn't an obvious burnt component is not my strong suit.

                                          The other day I got a customer come in with a macbook A1990 (motherboard 820-01814-A) that would not turn on and had previously been getting the warning message that the battery needed servicing. (Most folks seem to ignore that message, just like the check engine light in vehicles.)...

                                          MacBook A1990 26 Pin Connector
                                          by Strolch
                                          Hello, can anyone tell me where I can get this 26-pin FPC connector? What is the connector for?So that one's also for the Touch Bar. I thought only the FPC at the top was for the Touch Bar. But where can I get it? I can't find the connector online. I only found the 22nd pin. Thank you....

                                          Macbook Pro a1990 activation locked

                                          Hi,
                                          I received a 2018 MacBook Pro A1990 for repair, and the motherboard was replaced, presumably purchased on AliExpress. The motherboard's activation is blocked because the previous owner didn't delete it. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I called Apple, and as expected, they asked me to activate the process with proof of purchase for the original computer, which I find very difficult, so the proof of purchase from AliExpress will be of little use. Any suggestions? Thanks.

                                          Hello.
                                          Have this two Apple A1990 EMC3215 that starting to 5W and power off. Byt Thermocam i see that T2 ic is heating little too much right when consumption start to raise.
                                          I dont find any short in coils for it and it looks like there are voltages

                                          Any hint or bad T2 is common on this boards?
