    Macbook Pro A1990 - no power/ no draw

    This device has logicboard# 820-01827. I couldn't find a schematic and bv for that one, so I am using a similar one, the 820-01041 which seems identical actually. Anyway I'm stuck on my troubleshooting, so let me take you through where I've been and where I am now and hopefully I can get some guidance. Initially the device was stuck on 5v.

    I found C6503 shorted which is PPBUS_G3H. I injected 1v to reveal U7660 heating up. I replaced U7660 and that short/problem went away. (see images c6503, u7660).

    After this I was getting 20v, but still no power draw/power on. I discovered that I found that C6456 was shorted to ground. I removed that, and that short is now gone, but still no current draw and no power on.(see image bc1)

    I have checked power at R5600 and R5620 and have reported voltages in image bc2.

    Please advise from here. Thanks!

    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)

    Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
    by Tynan Dill
    I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

    Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

    I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

    The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

    With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

    Assuming...

    Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 - no power
    by PantherDave
    Hi all!

    I'm trying to troubleshoot a Microsoft Surface Pro (5th gen) model 1796 that won't power on. Motherboard model is M1007506-015. My priority is retrieving data, but the SSD is integrated so it looks like if I can't repair it it'll need to go to a data recovery company. I've done a little basic board repair before, but nothing this advanced until now. So please forgive my ignorance in advance. 😅

    I found the boardview for this laptop in the forums here, and am able to open it on my PC with FlexBV.

    Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
    by GLISIT
    Hi all,

    TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


    I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

    A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

    Macbook Pro a1990 820-01041-A no power draw
    by dj0nes
    Hello, I'm new to this level of troubleshooting (had not heard of openboardview 30 minutes ago), but have a multimeter and just found the schematic for this mainboard (820-01041-A).

    Board & battery were replaced by Apple late 2021, stopped working late 2022 after sitting on a shelf for a while, and haven't touched it since. Did some googling for similar posts, and tested these voltages with the laptop plugged in. I only moved the charging cable to a different port for testing PP20V_USBC_TB_VBUS, not sure if that's relevant.
