    macbook pro a1990 - 820-01041 drawing 5v on usb c port

    Hello

    working on a 820-01041 a1990 macbook pro
    the machine is only drawing 5v on usb c ports, and around 0.24a

    one board measured 5v and 0.00a but later when i connected again it's went to 0.24a

    ppbus is 12.27v-12.29v

    is not recognized on apple configurator on dfu or recovery

    can't seem to find a short anywhere on board but with the power adapter connected (without battery)
    i notice the t2 chip is getting a little hot..

    pp1v8_slps2r present and doesnt seems to be shorted..

    any ideas? how can i confirm wheter t2 is the problem or not?

    thanks!

    Are you drawing an immediate 0.24A on the 5v USB C ? Or does it climb up to this current value?

      hi
      sorry for the late response

      main port is drawing 0.00a 5v for around 10 seconds and than jumps to 0.24-0.25a steady.

      all other 3 ports once connected starting on 0.01 to 0.11 and immediatly to 0.24-0.25a steady. (total around a 1second to get to this amp draw).

        Confirm if you have the following:

        PP3v3_S5
        PP5V_S5

          hi
          seems like those are missing
          PP3v3_S5
          PP5V_S5


          thanks for the link
          but can't find any port that is boot looping
          the only thing that is diffrent between the others is that the main port starts off with 0.00a 5v

          after a few seconds it climbs also to 0.25-24a

          any help would be appreciated..
          thanks..

            Measure the voltage to ground at the battery connector J6951 for:

            SMBUS_3V3_BATT_SCL
            SMBUS_3V3_BATT_SDA


            Post each measurement.

              MacBook Pro 2018 - A1990 Dead - not charging - only 5V
              by robka
              Hi,

              my MacBook Pro 15" 2018 Touch Bar (A1990) doesn't charge anymore. Board# 820-01041-A

              I'm not experienced in diagnostics, but I want to try to solve the problem with your help, because every local shop charges around 600€ (650 usd). Which is the value of the whole Macbook.

              The Macbook was charging when suddenly the "charging sound" appeared every other second for around 4-5 times.
              After that the Macbook was dead. It isn't charging anymore.

              The USB-C Port where the charger was plugged is burned. Also The Cable and the...

              Macbook Pro A1990 - 820-01041 Stuck at 5V / 0.02A
              by DATATECH85
              Hello,
              I am currently working on a Macbook Pro A1990 (motherboard 820-01041) which is not charging.
              The Macbook consumes 5V and 0.019A at USB-C. There seems to be a partial short-circuit on the PPBUS_G3H rail as I have 0V on this rail.

              I've physically separated (by removing F7000 and F7001) PPBUS_G3H and the ISL9240 charging chip to see which side the short is coming from. Removing these fuses gives me 12.6V at the output of the ISL chip (PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_REG).
              However, I can't work out exactly why I don't have the PPBUS_G3H rail.

              Here are the values...

              A1990 MacBook no power help
              by Cameron Kajohn
              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...

              MacBook A1990 vertical stripes on external screen
              by ahoonid
              Hey everyone,

              I bought a MacBook A1990 with no screen. I bought it knowing the motherboard was defective but wasn't sure what the problem was until I received it. It actually turns on but as you see from the attachment, it has vertical stripes, on an external screen!!

              The board is neat. Not opened before for sure. Just a little dust, nothing more.

              Recovery using wifi can be opened, as can also be seen in the photo but it doesn't go all the way through after connecting it to a wifi. It downloads the initial Recovery files but never completes the rest of the...
