    A1990 MacBook no power help

    I have a a1990 2018 15 inch MacBook Pro that will not power on.
    I have replaced the pch bga chip because it was heating up under my thermal camera.
    I have replaced the battery, and replaced the small ic between the gpu and cpu as it had a direct short to ground.

    the MacBook now pulls 20v 2.4amps the trackpad clicks but it does not ever attempt to power on not even fan spin. After PCH replacement I was able to get it in dfu mode 1 time and restore bridge OS, but now the MacBook will no longer go into DFU mode.

    I have also noticed L7030 gets extremely hot yet there is no short to ground and it has 465ohms on both sides. I have also noticed that pp2v5 rail is missing and is showing 65 ohms on the rail. Not sure where to go from here if anyone has any suggestions.

      20v 2.4amps
      Is this an immediate current consumption of 2.4A? Or does the current gradually climb up to this value? If it is an immediate current measurement of 2.4A then you have a short on the board.

          It gradually climbs up, starting at .645 amps and then rising to 2.4.

                  What is the voltage to ground of ppbus_g3h?

                  is the board power looping?

                      Can you indicate the motherboard number?
                      820-01041-A or 820-01814-A?

                          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)

                          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...

                          LG 42LB5D, 42LB5DF-UL, 2008-01, Power On Issue, Replaced PS Caps
                          by bcstedt
                          LG 42LB5D (42LB5DF-UL) from 2008-01, unit is in good shape and no obvious heat damage or cracked solder on the boards.

                          Problem:
                          On first power-up the power LED flashes green about 18x and then stays solid. No backlight or image is present. Click power button, wait 10s for a click and the LED turns red. Wait 1-2s and hit power again and maybe it'll power up fully after 6 green flashes. If it doesn't light up on the sixth flash then the cycle repeats.

                          It seems that if the mainboard power is left on for a few minutes (solid green power, no backlight, no image)...
