    A1990 20v/ 0.04-0.08a

    Hi,
    I got myself an A1990, 2018, board #820-01041A off of ebay (i know -.-).
    Seller mentioned liquid damage.
    First inspection showed only few (sugary) drops, but under the microscope I spotted some areas with degraded solder and smd contacts. I replaced around 10-12 etched caps and replaced solder in these areas.

    The board now switches to 20v, takes 40-80mA. I found no shorts on any power rail.

    I'm a complete n00b when it comes to those T2 machines - where should I look next?
    Are the A1990s even supposed to power up without battery? I've both yes and no answers, and the battery is pretty flat (7.6V), but won't charge either (I think it's failing too soon in the power sequence to enable charging).

    Any help out there?

    A1990 820-01814-A dead not charging - need help with diagnostics.
    by master_haze86
    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
    by falcontech
    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.

    Any hint or bad T2 is common on this boards?
