    Macbook Pro 14 2021 - A2442 - 820-02098-A not turning on 5v fluctuation

    I would like some help with this MacBook if possible. It came in with not turning on and the Magsafe light was off. After inspecting the logicboard i cannot find any liquid damage and also no burnt or shorted components.
    took some measurement and i can see i have fluctuation on PP3V3_S2 and also PP5V_S2_MAIN amongst other rails. Using the thermal camera RC282 & RC283 were pulsing, but after removing these it was still the same.

    I then did some investigation into why the rails were pulsing and noticed that P5VS2_PWR_EN (comes from U8100) is also doing the same thing.. Replaced both U8100 and also U7700 from a working (iCloud locked) logicboard, still the same. I've also temporarily removed all the components on the PP3V3_S2 rail but the fluctuation is still there so i'm thinking that it could be coming from a higher rail. I'n not sure what the power rail startup sequence is on this model. All the AON rails are fine and stable and now i've hit a wall and not sure what to do next.

      Check the frequency of MPMU_XTAL2 and MPMU_XTAL_R.

          32Khz and stable on both sides of R8350

            What is the voltage and current draw of the USB Type C meter?

              It's 5.18v current draw fluctuates between 0.00 and 0.05A and that's on all 4 ports

                Each PD controller is a suspect. Confirm the LDO rail of each controller - much like the CD3215 article:

                https://logi.wiki/index.php/CD3215_Bootup_Sequence

                The BMC 1v1 will only be active for the USB C port being used to power the board.

                  My understanding is that these boards don't have the T2 and are not similar to the CD3215. I took it upon myself to swop from an icloud locked board, all 4 CD3217 in the correct order along with the ROM's as explained on this page https://logi.wiki/index.php/CD3217_a...er_on_Sequence and it is still fluctuating.

                  I've spent enough time on this now so it's become another donor or until someone else gets and fixes the same issue.

                      Macbook Pro 14 2021 - A2442 - 820-02098-A - Internal display not turning on but MacOS working good
                      by modtool
                      Dear collegues,
                      the owner of this machine brought it to me saying that suddenly one day the display didn't turn on anymore, he tought that all the machine was damaged but it turned out that the MacOS starts good and stays on, and that connecting it to an external display it works without problems.
                      If you take a look into general settings, you can also see that the internal retina display is recognized as connected by the main board but for an unknown reason it doesn't turn it on.
                      I've tried to put a bright light towards the screen but I can't see anything, any shadows or apple...

                      Macbook A2442 no display board 820-02098
                      by dbuergi
                      Hi all,

                      i got a Macbook A2442 which statrts normal but is not showing any picture. Using an external monitor works fine. After opening the Macbook i found a dried up line of liquid damage around CN979, RD503, and UP730. I cleaned up everything and also unsoldered the chips to clean the pads. There were no shorts before but i still don't have any picture. Sometimes you can see a glimpse of light in the middle of the display.
                      So before i change the whole display i want to make sure that it's not any issue with the logicboard. So any ideas what i can check next?...

                      MacBook A2442 not powering on – suspecting CD3217, but replacement didn’t help
                      by TechSplendid
                      Hi All,

                      I'm working on a MacBook Pro A2442 (14", 2021) that's not powering on. On two out of three USB-C ports, I get 5V and the current briefly ramps up to around 0.210A before dropping to 0.036A. On the third port (JF600), I only get 0.0045A and it stays there.

                      Initially, I suspected a faulty CD3217 on that port, especially since I noticed signs of previous liquid damage near the JF600 USB connector. I replaced the CD3217 with an UF400 (from an A2442 donor board from the same location). According to the supplier, this should be a compatible version, but the behavior...

                      Macbook Pro A2442 820-02098 No image but has backlight
                      by Constantinos
                      Hi all
                      I have a Macbook Pro A2442 with the 820-02098 from a friend which has no picture on the display, however, the backlight works.
                      He was streaming a football match on a questionable site, then the site crashed, and the problem emerged.
                      Initially, he sent it to apple, who quoted him £1323.95 to replace the display, lid angle sensor and top case.
                      Obviously, he decided against this and gave it to me so that I could have a crack at it.
                      From initial diagnostics, I connected to an external monitor, I first tried with a HP 22W monitor, and I booted into the boot menu...

                      by veedo
                      Hi All
                      I have MacBook A2442 which had keyboard replaced and now it doesn't turn on correctly, it have sound chime from time to time and Apple logo shows on the display and there is no backlight on, apple logo appear and stuck on kind of boot loop. But if one of the display flexes is disconnected from the motherboard then MacBook turns of fine with the external monitor and it keeps working fine.
                      Without keyboard its still have same issue, I don't have second display to replace it and compare but does display can make issues with boot?
                      I found component UD290 ( SF0101-I2C) little...
