    LDOs on the CD3217 are fine; I found R5215 had non-measurable resistance, preventing the ISL to recognize a plugged charger.
    Now at 5V / 7 - 30 mA, but with super short peaks to 2A every ~20s (as of the PLD Amp-Meter).
    Found Q5230 short pins 1+2, swapped that and also Q5240. After a longer waiting time, finally the MacBook turns on and boots

    Check the LDO rails on each CD3217.

    After thinking a bit longer, i think both GATE_Q1 and GATE_Q2 should oscillate. Will find another donor tomorrow to transplant the third ISL on that board. Didn't find any shorts, and diode readings around the isl are ok, too.

    Have an A2337 here, which suffered some serious coffee damage. After cleaning C5220 fell from the board, so I replaced it and after lifting the ISL I found pad C5 was also partially corroded, first reballed the original ISL (no power), and then replaced it from a donor.
    I now get 5V / ~10mA stable on the charger, and found the CHGR_GATE_Q2 (GATE_Q2 on the ISL) doesn't get activated (Q1 does).

    Is this an ISL or a communication issue (perhaps with the CD3217s)?

    MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
    by rounin
    Hi everyone,

    I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

    🛠 Original Issue
    The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
    Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

    I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

    MacBook Air A2337 820-02016-07 No sound ISSUE
    by saisoni20
    Hi,
    I have A2337 MacBook Air no sound issue.
    I have replaced new Audio Board but still same issue. I went through repair wiki and checked critical voltages.
    In terms of voltages, I have following voltages,


    1 PP1V25_AWAKE_IO - 1.2V
    2 PP1V25_AWAKE_IO - 1.8V
    3 SPKRAMP_A_OUTP_R - 0V
    ​4 SPKRAMP_A_OUTN_R - 0V

    Am I missing any other critical voltages?

    Thanks

    MacBook A1278 (3115) No PPBUS_G3H Issue

    Subject: Help Needed: MacBook A1278 (3115) No PPBUS_G3H Issue

    Hello everyone,

    I'm working on a MacBook A1278 with the 3115 logic board and facing an issue with no PPBUS_G3H voltage. Here's what I've checked so far:
    1. U7000 Measurements:
      • Pin 3 has 0V, even though R7012 shows 16.5V from PPDCIN_S5_CHGR.
    2. Resistors:
      • I measured R7010 and R7011 with one leg disconnected, and both tested OK.

    Based on these findings, I believe U7000 needs to be replaced. However, I have a related question:
    • If I also decide to replace the SMC, do I need to order it pre-programmed,

    Macbook a1707 2017 model 820-00928 GPU issue
    by sofles
    Hello there

    I have problem with Macbook Pro 15" 2017, model 2017, MB code 820-00928.

    I bought it as broken with some artefacts on the screen, first I thought that this is problem with ribbon cable but after inspectiing ribbon cable I know it is fine. I tried to reinstall macOs and then I figured out that this must be something with GPU as installation freezes at the end (when drivers are loaded). I installed Windows and was able to install every each of drivers except GPU driver, as soon as I tried to install GPU driver - black screen and restart.

    A2141 MacBook Pro 16" lid sensor issue.
    by Stephen
    Just like the title states. I have been confused at this point. Computer won't turn on when lid angle sensor is plugged in, when unplugged it turns on immediately, however I have tried 4 different lid angle sensors all OEM and calibrated without issue. I even pulled one from a donor computer and still nothing. I know the M1 Pro sensors are married to the board however I do know the 2019 intel are not as long as they came from a donor LCD etc. What I do not get is why is the lid angle sensor forcing the computer to not turn on, another issue I see when the lid angle sensor is disconnected...
