    A2251 L8100 Diode Drop .009V Resistance 2.6Ohm

    Trouble shooting an A2251, it is giving me the behavior that all three USB jacks except the DFU port are reading 5.18V .24A, the DFU port draws no current.

    Tried swapping that CD3217 from a donor, that changed to DFU port same behavior the adjacent USB port is now boot cycling, other side un effected.

    Hindsight probably should have checked the diode drops first.

    I removed L8100 to confirm that the PP1v1_S3 rail was "shorted" It reads about 2.4ohm and .009V on diode drop. The HighSide Low Side FETS before L8100 appear to be fine. Proper diode drop with reverse voltage.

    Odd when I inject 1V into the rail it draws about 0.09A I'm not seeing anything heating up on the ram chips at all.

    Has anybody seen this?

      MacBook Pro A2251 - 820-01949 Voltage Drop and unkown issues.
      by pb1911nt
      Hello forum,

      I'm still relatively new to the world of electrical repairs.

      I have a Macbook here that I can't figure out

      When the battery is gone, the USB input consumption goes up to 20 V and 0.06A. But it breaks down after about 2-3 seconds and you can also hear a small ticking on the logic board. But I can't pinpoint it exactly.

      I removed the logic board and took a few measurements.

      But I can't really figure it out.

      At first I thought the infamous CD chip was defective - but then of course you read more on the internet...

      Macbook Pro Core I7 A2251 EMC3348 Help Remove MDM
      by MICHAEL_2013
      Good afternoon. My client brought me a Mac A2251 EMC 3348 that he bought at a sale. The computer is completely iCloud-free, but it came with MDM installed. He has tried contacting the company that provides the MDM in every way possible, but they are unwilling to offer a solution. The device is:
      Model A2251 EMC 3348. Serial Number: C02G54CZML85
      Apple MacBook Pro Core i7 2.3, 13" 2020, 512 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM.
      I've tried changing the serial number of the SoC ROM MX25U3235F, but it hasn't worked:
      C02G54CZML84 only works up to Monterey.
      C02G54CZML86 doesn't work (I...

      A2251 820-0194 CD3217B12 (U3100_W) donors/replacements
      by abajor
      I have an A2251 820-01949 which had a failed TPS62180.
      I was fortunate enough to find the video on "Exploding USB-C" https://youtu.be/CAGnMR1aVuE?si=O1oYvAyNMeAr4dv4 what was shared here on the topic.

      I was wondering if there are any cross compatible models that have been discovered?
      We have an apple ID locked A2179 Mac AIR it's CD3217B2 has different lithography and looks slightly gray but I'm assuming it's the same chip in principal, but I am also aware that for some inexplicable reason mac flashes these chips firmware depending on their location on the board....

      Asus G512LI VCCCore raise and drop
      by battery.12v
      Hello guys, Asus G512LI, came with 3.3V drop down immediately .... 5V was stable ... after search and work found that +3VSUS_MUX is the issue (caused by U4701A TUSB1146RNQR) , left off the ic .. 3.3V came up again stable ... after power on laptop turn on for 3 seconds and power off ... VCCcore raise 0.9V for 1.5 seconds and drop down all other voltages do same thing ... Ram voltage , Gpu voltages, concerning VCCGT 0V all the time

      Macbook Pro - A2251 - No power when battery is connected
      by manymonsteras
      I am hoping to get some advice. I have a 2020 13" Macbook Pro - A2251 that wouldn't turn on. I have done lots of electronics repair in the past but never on Macbooks. I have had this laptop sitting around and I finally decided to take a look at it and see if I could spring some life into it.

      First, it wouldn't boot up at all. I did a DFU restore and managed to get it to power on. Did a full restore but the battery was dead and wouldn't charge. I put in a new battery in it but now it won't boot up when the new battery is connected. I ordered a second new battery just in case,...
