      C9560 failure is a problem on 820-2850 not 820-2915.

        be very carefull that the psu is in perfect working condition as some charger give green light but fail to power on the board. also bad battery can lead to this problem too.
        try smc bypass if it start:
        short the 2 pins on board, then connect psu while keeping the two pads shorted, then release the pin and short them again. check if pc start with full fan spin and give post and screen.

          I've checked its value - it has 300uF (the schematic says it should be 220uF). In any case, it seems to be ok. The voltage levels are unchanged without this capacitor.

            I did that, the fans won't start, the voltage levels are unchanged, the pulsing rails still pulsing.

                read voltage on C7205 pin N° 1
                check voltage of r7940 both side,
                post u7201 voltage.

                  Sorry for the delay ... long working hours ...

                  So, ping 1 on C7205 - oscillating
                  Same for both sides of R7940.

                  Regarding U7201, do you mean the voltage on all pins?

                      Very confusing ... the board was sitting on my desk since my last reply, so about 3 weeks away. At first the voltmeter showed 3.7-5V, then up to 12.4, then down again, then 12,4 for minutes until I got bored waiting for a change. Powered off, tried again - 12.4V. I put the MB away and check it the next day - 12.4V. At some point I just left the MB powered on, decided to get back to it in about half hour. After a few minutes the green light from the magsafe went off. I reconnected it - green light and 12.4V, and the magsafe did not go off. Not sure if that tells anything...

                      The resistance on C7205 starts at around 20 Mohms going down to 4 MOhms.

                        your macbook has some problem with ppbus and smd. 12,4 volt going down could be bad 10omh resistor r7021, r7022. check if they are 10omh.

                          R7021 and R7022 are both intact and have 10 Ohms.

                            board should not power on on 12,4 volt unless u do smcbypass. ppbus must be 12,57 volt (12,6) not 12,4 as smc is not boosting. if u connect fan, and connect psu, fan start spinning or they dont ?

                                    Measure the voltage to ground of:

                                    SMBUS_SMC_BSA_SCL
                                    SMBUS_SMC_BSA_SDA


                                    on J6950 (battery connector). Post the voltage measurements.

                                      Hi

                                      Im hoping someone might be able to give me some idea of what may be wrong with my Monitor Audio RSW12 Sub.

                                      Ive owned it since new in around 2002, so would really like to keep it running if I can, it was the first ‘decent' bit of audio equipment I ever purchased and is a little sentimental.

                                      The issue I had was that it would power up with the red light, but sometimes the green light would not come on and I would get no bass from it. If the green light did come on though, I would get sound out of it.

                                      Hi

                                      I have an 820-2610-A motherboard that has no green light.
                                      I have noticed is when I do a SMC reset the light on the Magsafe blinks.
                                      From My understanding, the sys onewire circuit is responsible for the green light on the magsafe
                                      The sys onewire circuit on this model and others is more involved
                                      I was hoping if anyone knows about this and how it works, can reply and let me know
                                      I know this is an old model but I am sure there are people who still works on these or knows about them

                                      Hello, greetings everyone. I NEED YOUR HELP

                                      I got this macbook that doesn't turn on, I don´t have a green light, but it's got a fan spin for a few minutes and after it's off.

                                      This macbook comes in without damage from liquid spill.

                                      The story of the Mac is that the screen closes and left without use for two days. Then they try to turn on and it won't turn on. Then they connect the charger and it doesn't give light.

                                      It´s a Macbook Air 2017

                                      Please help me understand how this works... Correct me if I'm wrong in my way of...
