    MacBook Pro A1990 820-01041A strange / inverted colors and faded look on display

    Hi all,

    i got a A1990 which shows strange colors. Sometimes looking faded or like a water mark and only visible when the cursor moves over the spot. With an external display everything looks fine.
    So is there anything i can do on my own to fix this issue?
    It doesn't look like the flexgate macs i have seen.

      It looks to me that the screen is damaged. I had a screen like this that would have a shimmering effect on some colours and brightness levels. Do you have another screen to try?

          Hello,

          i was able to fix the issue. The board was covered with some very fine dust and i gave it a good vacuum cleaning and finished with isopropanol. This dust was also inside most of the connectors.
          After putting everything back together the macbook started normal and all colors look like they should. :-)

                  Hi, I found short on one of 6 black nand (total 1TB).
                  i removed all 6 nand ( voltages all ok) and now i want to program with JC P15 but for A1990 2019 there is only 512GB configuration.
                  I try A2141 1TB configurazion with TSB4228 but the position on pcb is different ( U9300 and U9400 is no stuff on A1990 but present on A2141 and U8800 and U8900 is no stuff on A2141 but present on A1990 )
                  macbook with A2141 configuration run on recovery but don't complete it.​

                  Philips 70PUS7855/12 bad colors when applying the tape fix on teh T-con board
                  by silikon77
                  Hi!
                  Got an 70 inch Philips tv model 70pus7855/12 from scraps and I decidet to give it a go. I'm an enthusiast but no porfessional in the electronics.
                  Found some advices watching youtube nad came up with this:
                  It came with no picture, after diagnosing it I found out that the right side of the T.con board was faulty.
                  I taped down the clock signals and I got a picture but the left side of the panel has less pronounced colours. Only the right 3rd side of the panel has good colors.
                  See attached picture.

                  I tried a few combinations to block individual clock...

                  Hisense 65H6570G - Color inverted after replacing LED backlight
                  by ojmc
                  Background:
                  • Hisense 65H6570G stopped working and I root caused to a burnt out LED in the backlight. (For anyone interested the power light pattern when the backlight has gone is 1) two long flashes, 2) a very short third flash, then 3) back to solid red )
                  • I replaced all 6 of the backlight LED strips with these replacements: amazon
                  • The TV worked again perfectly for ~2 weeks.
                  • After that 2 weeks the colors became "inverted". The TV powers on and shows the boot screen in correct colors initially (aqua hisense logo on black background, pic on the left) but a few seconds after boot
                  ...

                  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...

                  A1990 820-01326 stuck at 5v and 0.19A
                  by ahoonid
                  Hi everyone.

                  I have a MacBook Pro 15" A1990 touchbar with (I believe) a dedicated Vaga GPU. The exact Boardview and schematics doesn't seem to exist but I've been using the one for 820-01814 so far.

                  The MacBook doesn't turn on, stuck at 5v and drawing only 0.19A.

                  All 4 USB Cs ports behave exactly the same.

                  There's no PPBUS G3H available.
                  The resistance to ground from PPBUS G3H is 0.4 ohm. I have found the same resistance to PPBUS G3H from two coils near cpu/gpu area.

                  Since the boardview I have is different exactly in this...
