    A1989 20V 0amp

    Hi,

    I've got A1989 which was liquid damaged, laptop was working however it was extremely slow, I've replaced palmrest and cleaned the board and since then it does not power up. Laptop goes up to 20V boost to 0.30 amps and then goes down to 0 after few seconds.

    PPbus 12.58V

    While battery connected it goes to up to 2AMP's, if everything connected trackpad does clicking. Connected to 2nd MacBook for DFU however it does not see the device.

      How did you clean the board? Did you use anything abrasive and potentially knock anything off? Where was the palmrest sourced from? Is the Touchbar known to be good? If the trackpad is clicking and PPBUS is 12.6V, then your T2 is functional and booting. Possible you have a missing or shorted power rail further on in the sequence.

      Slow machine is usually missing sensor data, and this can even be missing SMBUS lines from the battery due to a bad battery flex cable.

          It was cleaned with IPA, palmrest is fully tested an working from other device, tried to install board in old one and it is the same. I've did visual inspection of the board and all components are on them place.

              Macbook Pro A1989 fallen, reboots if touchbar connected
              by modtool
              Hi to all,
              the owner of this macbook brought it to me after a fall, that hit the upper right corner of the top case.
              Luckily enough, the screen and all other parts of the machine haven't been damaged, only the touch bar wasn't lighting up anymore, and the macbook began to behave strangely, because it seems to start and work fine but suddendly it shutsdown (and at the same time the fans make a high rotation for half a second, as if an animal was annoyed by something...) at random times, sometimes after 2 minutes, sometimes after 5 minutes, but never over 10 minutes, then restarts...

              A1989 820-00850 does not boot when battery is connected
              by donnos
              Hi All,

              have this macbook came in issues not able to turn on, found out the battery is blown(literally having holes in it). tried to do a battery swap and its still not booting up. However without battery connected, macbook boots up fine.
              Tried battery from another vendor, macbook boots but does not charge, system reports detects battery data and shows battery "service recommended". this at least tells me that the SMC/T2 is working.

              Tried changing ISL6240 chip and still the same. all 4 ports working fine,
              Checked current sensing resistors all...

              Acer Predator Helios 300 - will not power up if battery is CONNECTED
              by survivalbloke
              This was a no power initially. Thanks to your help, I discovered it was the first mosfet, so I replaced. Now, the device will power up only if the battery is NOT connected. As soon as I connect the battery, it shuts off. If I connected the battery while the device is off, it simply will not respond to the power button. I replaced the battery, and while I suppose the new battery could be faulty, I'm assuming it is not. I'm having the same behavior with the new battery. I measure .2v at the charging coil. Manually applying power to the + and - at the battery header, there is no charging happening....

              820-2915-A Wont power on with battery connected
              by beogeek
              Ok so this doing my head in and hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to assist.

              I've got a MacBook Pro 820-2915-A it will power on without the battery connected, but when the battery is connected it will do a 2,3-second fan spin when pressing the power button and then nothing.

              After measuring and probing around I found that R7051 was bad, reading high instead of 2.2Ω so I replaced it. Still the same issue, I have the green light on the charger but it won't power on or charge the battery.

              So to cut the long story short I've replaced U7000,...
