    Macbook Pro (820-2773) 20 ohm partial short on the pp3v8 power rail after water damage

    water damage to the left speaker channel circuit caused an internal board short that has been carved out and damage to various capacitors. I removed both chips ur630 and ur600 both were burnt. Im not sure how to track down this partial short. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The fuse is blown on ppbus and im getting 12.24v to the ppvbatt side of the fuse

      Macbook A1466 820-00165A heavy water damage but working with "flashing" screen
      by dbuergi
      Hi all,

      i got a A1466 with serious water damage. I was able to clean the whole board and only found a fuse with a coroded trace. Cleaning and resoldering did the job and the macbook started normal but after some time the screen began "flashing" like turning on and off while the Macbook was still running. I checked the board again but was not able to find the problem until now.
      Any ideas where to look?...

      MacBook Pro 13inch 2017mid (A1706 820-00923-A) - liquid damage - USBC and Display short circuit
      by rilley
      Hello everyone,
      I am new into this, sorry to post it here. I want to make this as a pet hobby project, as this mac is not urgent.

      I have (Macbook Pro 13inch 2017mid) A1706 820-00923-A

      My mac had liquid damage a long time ago, the connector from J8500 is damaged on pin 46 (PP5V_S0_ALSCAM_F), I guess the LCD/display panel is in short circuit, as I saw the connector from the LCD burned as well.

      And the resistor L4004 is literally burned.

      From what I see from the schematics, it does not affect any other rails, only the connection to the display...

      Macbook A1708 with water damage and problems after removing U2800
      by dbuergi
      Hi all,

      i got a A1708 with water damage. I cleaned everything and the board started normal. But the next day i got 20v but no booting. Thermal cam showed over 160c (never had a chip getting this burning hot before) in U2800 and some shorts on the caps around it. After removal shortages were gone and i installed a donor U2800 which worked before.
      Sadly now the device stays at 5v, 0,4a and 1,9w and i don't find the problem.USB ports worked fine before....

      Macbook a2251 Water damage- stuck on Logo
      by Runnerboys
      Hi all,

      Would appreciate your input, we have fixed a water damage motherboard for the a2251, there was mainly corrosion next to the 2 locations, but were able to clean it all

      First few times- the Macbook would boot and got to login screen (didn't try to login), day after, when we tested it - it would get stuck on the logo and won't show welcome screen

      What would be the best step to take from here to test? should I test Mobo components/ chip / storage? and if so- where do I start?

      OR should I try to use the Apple Configurator and connect...
