    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?

      sn:C02Z349ALVDR;
      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?

      MacBook A1990 vertical stripes on external screen
      by ahoonid
      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...
