    MacBook A1990 820-01827

    Please help me identify the microcircuit. There is no schematic for this board and I cannot understand what it is.

        i9 32GB Ram 1TB

        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.​

        MacBook Pro 2018 - A1990 Dead - not charging - only 5V
        by robka
        Hi,

        my MacBook Pro 15" 2018 Touch Bar (A1990) doesn't charge anymore. Board# 820-01041-A

        I'm not experienced in diagnostics, but I want to try to solve the problem with your help, because every local shop charges around 600€ (650 usd). Which is the value of the whole Macbook.

        The Macbook was charging when suddenly the "charging sound" appeared every other second for around 4-5 times.
        After that the Macbook was dead. It isn't charging anymore.

        The USB-C Port where the charger was plugged is burned. Also The Cable and the...

        Macbook Pro A1990 - 820-01041 Stuck at 5V / 0.02A
        by DATATECH85
        Hello,
        I am currently working on a Macbook Pro A1990 (motherboard 820-01041) which is not charging.
        The Macbook consumes 5V and 0.019A at USB-C. There seems to be a partial short-circuit on the PPBUS_G3H rail as I have 0V on this rail.

        I've physically separated (by removing F7000 and F7001) PPBUS_G3H and the ISL9240 charging chip to see which side the short is coming from. Removing these fuses gives me 12.6V at the output of the ISL chip (PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_REG).
        However, I can't work out exactly why I don't have the PPBUS_G3H rail.

        Here are the values...

        Macbook Pro a1990 activation locked
        by falcontech
        Hi,
        I received a 2018 MacBook Pro A1990 for repair, and the motherboard was replaced, presumably purchased on AliExpress. The motherboard's activation is blocked because the previous owner didn't delete it. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I called Apple, and as expected, they asked me to activate the process with proof of purchase for the original computer, which I find very difficult, so the proof of purchase from AliExpress will be of little use. Any suggestions? Thanks.

        A1990 MacBook no power help
        by Cameron Kajohn
        I have a a1990 2018 15 inch MacBook Pro that will not power on.
        I have replaced the pch bga chip because it was heating up under my thermal camera.
        I have replaced the battery, and replaced the small ic between the gpu and cpu as it had a direct short to ground.

        the MacBook now pulls 20v 2.4amps the trackpad clicks but it does not ever attempt to power on not even fan spin. After PCH replacement I was able to get it in dfu mode 1 time and restore bridge OS, but now the MacBook will no longer go into DFU mode.

        I have also noticed L7030 gets extremely hot yet...
