    [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?

                                          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...

                                          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

                                          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...
