    mac 1706 fan not working damage U5860


    Hi everyone, I have this Mac that had flaxgate problems, it was repaired, I noticed that the fans were running at maximum, I inspected and found the u 5860 torn away, recovered the chip on another main, I rebuilt the tracks, but now the fans don't turn really, if I unsolder it the fans go to max and the Mac is very slow, could I bypass this sensor? I attach the diagram+brd thanks

    I think the best suggestion is to review the reworked areas. If the Mac is slow, then the sensor is not being properly detected so the CPU speed is being throttled. It is also possible that the fan is not properly spinning so the CPU speed is being throttled. U5860 has its own I2C bus address. Was the replacement part 100% the same as the original? The I2C node address for this thermal sensor is defined by the A0/A1 strapping pins. Can you confirm the connections are present for A0 to ground. A1 is floating. If not, then the I2C address will be something else and this condition will also cause the sensor to be found and then the CPU speed will be...throttled.

    You can attempt to run diagnostics on the logic board which should offer clues on which sensor (most likely this one) is not being detected.

      I checked the connections again and they all seem correct, A0 to ground, A1 not connected, I recovered the spare part from a 820-01949 board, looking at the diagram this is U5850 TMP461-S, could this be the problem? The diagram instead of my sensor gives me TMP461 without the final s

        According to the 820-01949 schematics, the I2C bus address for U5850 is the same so this should have worked ok.

        Carefully measure the voltage to ground of:

        SMBUS_SMC_3_SCL
        SMBUS_SMC_3_SDA


        Each should be ~3v unless one of the lines is stuck. If stuck, the sensor cluster cannot be pinged and will cause the CPU speed throttling.

          I carry out measurements and update, I noticed that the SMBUS_SMC_3_SCL and SMBUS_SMC_3_SDA line between u5860 and u5850 measure 8 ohm and 3 ohm on the common points, if I disconnect the flat trackpad the fans start to spin quickly and the Mac slows, if I connect the fan remain still

            Requested the voltage of the SMBUS lines but it appears the trackpad sensors are absent when removed so the fan spin is high and CPU speed is throttled.

            Run the diagnostics to check which sensors are failing.

              here SMBUS_SMC_3_SDA 3.3 v SMBUS_SMC_3_SCL 3.3 v all connected track, battery etc, when turned on there is no rotation of the fans, I ran the diagnostics and it is without errors, the fans started to turn first the right one then the left one, but when I turn it on the fans remain stopped, I don't think it's normal, can I check something else? thanks​

                The fans only spin on these models when needed. If you boot and hold D the fan will be spun up and tested for tach etc during the test.

                It's rare to see a fan not spinning on an Intel machine though, as they do run very hot. That's why Apple ditched Intel CPU's in their MAC's.

                  thanks, so when it turns on is it normal to see no rotation?

                    Correct. Perform the pram reset.

                      I was going to say that fan spin is not instant on these models. It needs to turn on when it gets hot, Intel chips run hot and are crap now compared to the M series chips. Hopefully you fixed it and don't need to do anything

                        thanks, yes indeed the CPU does not heat up, in the diagnostics the fans work and do not cause problems,

                            Macbook Pro 16" 2019 No Display After Lid Sensor Issue
                            by jasonr2000
                            hi guys i have the above MacBook pro 2019 16"

                            i did some dust cleaning recently and i somehow damaged the lid angle sensor. so i purchased the nerdtool1 lid angle sensor calibrating tool and a new sensor.

                            installed it and followed the instructions to program the sensor.

                            and now im still getting no display out of the MacBook pro.

                            its booting up ok ive noticed the keyboard and touchbar is all lighting up.

                            it was also showing a display before i replaced the damaged sensor and now i cant get any display out of it.

                            AcuRite 5 in 1 temperature sensor replacement repair
                            by CapLeaker
                            Got a new victim:

                            AcuRite 5 in 1 Iris outdoor weather station not updating the temperature / humidity anymore. The original sensor is a SHT21. Also there are identical other sensor manufacturers. I chose the HTU21D to replace the original SHT21. Both have identical specs. I've had two failure modes with these sensors.
                            A: outside temp stuck at -40? It's cold here at times in Canada, but not that cold!
                            B: stuck at some temperature and maybe updating once in 12 hrs or so.

                            Easy solution is to go to AcuRite website and purchase the sensor. Right?...

                            HP Victus 16 Hall Effect Sensor Problem
                            by mitchw
                            I am repairing a HP Victus 16 with black screen, blinking screen, etc. Quick googling provided me the answer that the lid detect hall sensor is the issue. Confirmed with disconnecting the IR board (that contains also the hall effect sensor). Laptop itself is just over a year old, but out of warranty.

                            Apparently the sensor itself is a TCS40DLR, which fails after just months of use at elevated temperatures.
                            Now which one is the best to replace with?
                            Some suggested A1126LLHLT-T, but they had to modify the power supply to supply the 3.3V instead of 1.8V, as the sensor wasn't...

                            RTX3090 working fine but fans not spinning
                            by emil_t
                            Hello guys. I have a problem with a PNY XLR8 GAMING RTX3090 graphics card. The problem is that it displays and works fine, but the fans don't spin at all. The problem occurred when someone else removed the fans in order to clean it and broke one of the fan connectors. He replaced it himself and after that, it wasn't working anymore. I guess he damaged something else in the process. What i have done so far: I found 2 capacitors next to the connector that were in a bad shape, he must have touched them with his tools - they weren't shorted, but i replaced them with similar ones from a similar card....
