        PP3V3_S5=0.002V
        Remove all power -> meter in resistance mode -> measure the resistance to ground of PP3V3_S5. Post the measurement in ohms.

          thanks for the response mon2
          I measure black to the ground with red
          PP3V3_S5​= 5.47 kohm

              Check the voltage to ground of PP2V5_NAND_SSD0

                PP2V5_NAND_SSD0=0.066 diode mode
                PP2V5_NAND_SSD0=3kohm
                PP2V5_NAND_SSD0=0v
                ​Isn't DFU detected even with bad SSDs?

                    Very carefully, inspect the condition of U9080 = TPS62180 which is a popular point of failure. Share a pic of this component. This regulator creates the PP2V5_NAND_SSD0​ power rail.

                    Also check the voltage to ground of SSD0_VR_P2V5_EN_R.

                    PS: Need to take of my weeds, er lawn. It is a spa day for our lawn. BBL.

                      Macbook A2251 no boot
                      by PITERPENY
                      The MacBook does not boot. It is restored via DFU without errors. The MacBook charges and consumes 20V/2A. There is no sound when connecting the charger. The caps lock does not light up, but the touchpad clicks. The fans do not rotate. No signs of life. Please advise.

                      MacBook pro A2251 Boot failure
                      by yehuday
                      Hi Everyone

                      I have a Macbook pro A2251 which fails to boot.
                      When i try to start it the fan momentarily spins full speed, then shuts off and it doesn't start.
                      This then repeats every few minutes. as if the board is stuck in a reboot loop

                      When i inspected the PCB i couldn't find any indication of liquid damage
                      I tried a few SMC reset sequence i found online but none helped (perhaps i did them wrong)

                      i am capable of opening the case and measuring voltage at test points. i also got the brd and layout files but i have no idea how to debug this...

                      [Macbook pro A1708] [Boot loop] [Trackpad ?]
                      by No Lan
                      Hey everyone,

                      Usually, I'm not the type to ask for help, but this time, I'm calling on your wisdom and expertise I've seen what this community can do, so I'm pretty sure you guys can help me out.

                      Here's the deal: I noticed my MacBook got stuck in a boot loop. After opening it up and doing some initial troubleshooting, I found that the boot loop stops only when the trackpad is unplugged.

                      Now, just so you know, the trackpad actually works β€” I tested it with another motherboard and it's all good. Same for the cable, no issues there. The problem is only...

                      Macbook Pro mid 2015 battery required to boot?
                      by twonk9098
                      I have read many forums that state the Macbook Pro 2015 needs / does not need a battery to boot. I'm not convinced as yet which is correct.
                      The Macbook Pro mid 2015 I have has no battery and do not really want to buy one just to test.
                      This model has the newer trackpad which is not clickable when turned off.
                      At the moment, without battery it does turn on with no display (with backlight), no chime and then turns off after 13 seconds. I see this from the power draw on my DTPS.
                      If I hold the power button whilst connecting the magsafe 2 charger it turns on, again no image but...

                      MacBook Pro A2251 - 820-01949-A not charging
                      by MikoMiko
                      Hello everyone, I have a MacBook Pro 13” 2020 (Four ports) (Model A2251 with the 820-01949-A logicboard). It had some minor liquid damage but I carefully cleaned the logic board with alcohol and let it dry as needed. Now I encounter following situation: The MacBook does start but the Battery is not charging when a cable is plugged in any of the ports (I use the powerbrick and cable that came with the device). It had some charge left, so I could safe some data, but I was limited my the 13% and the speed of airdrop. The liquid-damage is almost only limited to the side of the logic board where...
