    Apple MacBook A2442 faulty PMIC - Question about possible replacement

    Hello Gentlemen,

    I am working on an apple MacBook A2442 board pn 820-02098-A with a visible short on the PMIC U7700 MVK-PLUS as per the schematics

    I have a donner board from apple macbook pro m1 A2338 PN 820-02020 and I saw that the PMIC U8100 TMLT46B0-JPE could be a possible replacement for the U7700

    Can you please help me confirm if the U7700 can be replaced with U8100 ?

    APL1098 is it the same as APL1096

    Thank you very much in advanced

    Ahmad

    Do note that the PMIC likely blew from a shorted/cracked ceramic capacitor, so make sure you trace the actual short and find the culprit once you remove PMIC.

    You can replace PMIC from that board and you should get most functions. I cannot confirm if there will be ZERO problems, but we have swapped those two PMICs (specifically 02016-->02098) and it worked. We have also done 02016-->02020, and it worked. So, I would presume 02020-->02098 will work fine as well. However, it's best-practice to always source programmed ICs from identical models. In this case it may be OK; try it!

      Apple MBP16" A2141 820-01700 PMIC power cycles no boot no shorts

      Bought myself a project thing. Apple MBP16" A2141 820-01700
      No shorts, no visible waterdamage.
      Dead. no history.
      All USBC ports do 20V and charging battery.
      If you plug battery/charger PPBUS is 12.6v and all power rails like RTC, 3v3, 5v etc are present. U7800 PMIC all voltages are present APART from PPVCCPRIMCORE_PRIM_REG (not sure if it has to be present at this stage?! resistance is 40 Ohm). SSD 2.5, 0.9, 1.8 are present on both wings. Charger meter shows 30ma or something like this on charged battery.
      But what PMIC does is that it power cycles(dropping to...

      Apple 076-00236 Genuine Apple Data Migration Tool for MacBook Pro 2016 2017
      by samstown
      Hello,

      This special tool from Apple is used to recover data from Macbook A1706. I've been using it for a while but it stops working. When connecting Thunderbolt 3 between the tool and working Macbook, Macbook should prompt "new device detected, allow or not"... but it doesn't.

      Has anyone ever experience this ? It's not a cabling or power supply issue, some IC have stopped working but not sure which one. Probably the one that manager thunderbolt 3

      Thanks

      Macbook A2442 no display board 820-02098
      by dbuergi
      Hi all,

      i got a Macbook A2442 which statrts normal but is not showing any picture. Using an external monitor works fine. After opening the Macbook i found a dried up line of liquid damage around CN979, RD503, and UP730. I cleaned up everything and also unsoldered the chips to clean the pads. There were no shorts before but i still don't have any picture. Sometimes you can see a glimpse of light in the middle of the display.
      So before i change the whole display i want to make sure that it's not any issue with the logicboard. So any ideas what i can check next?...

      MacBook A2442 not powering on – suspecting CD3217, but replacement didn’t help
      by TechSplendid
      Hi All,

      I'm working on a MacBook Pro A2442 (14", 2021) that's not powering on. On two out of three USB-C ports, I get 5V and the current briefly ramps up to around 0.210A before dropping to 0.036A. On the third port (JF600), I only get 0.0045A and it stays there.

      Initially, I suspected a faulty CD3217 on that port, especially since I noticed signs of previous liquid damage near the JF600 USB connector. I replaced the CD3217 with an UF400 (from an A2442 donor board from the same location). According to the supplier, this should be a compatible version, but the behavior...

      Apple Watch Charging Controller Schematics / Boardview - 820-02601
      by a_p3rson
      Hi there,

      I'm looking for anyone who might have information on Apple's embedded Apple Watch charging daughterboard, ID 820-02601. This is currently used by Anker in their Apple Watch charging products, but likely by other Apple partner brands as well.

      You can see the board referenced in ChargerLab's teardown of the Anker Y1811 3-in-1 MagSafe cube - they discuss the "Apple Watch wireless charging circuit" about 2/3rds down the page. It's not pictured, but the board ID reads 820-02601-A, which sure sounds like Apple.
      This daughterboard uses an interesting...
