    Macbook A1502 820-3476-a don´t turn on (measures included)

    Hi to all:


    I have a Macbook pro model A1502
    Board 820-3476-a

    Liquid damage, cleaned with isopropyl.

    Don´t boot in SMC Bypass, it tries to turn on without luck (check voltages, for example 5v usb intermittent).


    I have two chargers, one is an original apple magsafe 85w 16.5-18.5v 4.6a max. And 60w generic clone.

    Sometimes Stays with orange light, fan OFF. No heat.

    Measures:

    CLONE:

    ppbus_g3h 12.55v
    PP3V42_G3H 3.41v
    PPVRTC_G3H 3.33v
    PP5V_S5 5.02v
    PP5V_S3 ----
    PP5V_S0 0v
    SMC_LID 3.41v
    PP3V3_S5 3.33v
    PM_BATLOW_L 0.03v


    ORIG:

    ppbus_g3h 12.54v
    PP3V42_G3H 3.41v
    PPVRTC_G3H 3.33v
    PP5V_S5 5.03v
    PP5V_S3 -----
    PP5V_S0 0v
    SMC_LID 3.41v
    PP3V3_S5 3.33v
    PM_BATLOW_L 3.32v


    I have found water damage in components: c5010 and c5017, and sustitute (1uF both), like uploaded photo.

    Can anybody help me please?


    Thanks in advance

    PM_BATLOW_L 0.03v

    states the clone power adapter is not worthy enough to power this board. Sacrifice it at a nearby active volcano.

          Battery repair is a very risky business as one wrong connection can lead to a fire or worse. Highly recommend that you consider to just replace the battery with a known good one. If available to you, Amazon is good for such sourcing since the customer (you) are able to return the item for any reason back to Amazon.

            Thx for your answer mon2, actually, now it power on.

            two important factors:
            1) rebuild water damaged vias
            and
            2) Use original charger
            But the input is not the correct one. I solder the clone cable, to the original base, but it doesn´t work. so, the conclusion, the mac recognize the clone cable.

              UPDATE:

              Generic charger + original cable = turn on.

                Excuse me,

                Does anyone know if there are any missing components here?


                I'm starting to think that something is missing here, and that's why it won't let me update the original bios...
