    Hi,

    i've got A1989 after liquid damage, had 2 CD3215 burned (Including primary), i've removed 2nd one and replaced primary with new one - same thing.

    PPBUS 12.25v

    PP3V3_G3H_RTC 3.3V
    PP3V3_UPC_XA_LDO 3.3 V
    PP1V8_UPC_XA 1.8
    PP1V8_SLP 1.8V

    5V 0.200amp on the amp meter - device is not in DFU

    Test the LDO voltage of each CD3215.

        MacBook Pro A1707 Motherboard Diagnostic Help – CD3215 heating and Fluctuating Rails
        by Cemal Odabasioglu
        Hello everyone,

        I'm currently diagnosing a MacBook Pro A1707 motherboard that does not power on. I've gathered some data but am stuck and need expert advice.
        Note that i'm a beginner in electronics and i'm trying to learn while trying to repair this macbook that my work gave me. I'm really curious and love understanding how thing works and i already learned so much.

        Only one usb c port is taking 20v and have 12.5v on PPBUS_G3H. when trying other ports, 2 are not going to 20v and one is going to 20v but the CD3215 is getting really hot.

        Observations...

        Macbook Pro A1989 - No image, working fine with external monitor
        by Madoy104
        Hi everyone,


        I have a MacBook Pro A1989 that was likely exposed to liquid. It doesn't display an image on the built-in screen, but the screen is backlit (you can't see the Apple logo or any other elements when held up to light). The laptop provides 20V and 1.5-2A, and it works fine when I use it with an external monitor. Currently, the connector for the display (J8500) is disconnected. I'm writing to ask for help in diagnosing the issue. I've heard that when the J8500 is exposed to liquid, the processor pin responsible for the display might short-circuit, and I'd like to know...

        A1989 Logic Board Repair Issue. One CD3215 chip is the culprit
        by Stephen
        As the title states, got one CD3215 chip being a complete butthole to me. All readings on the other 3 chips read as follows
        5.16V .47amp
        5.16V .47amp
        5.16V .47amp
        5.16V .04amp (this guy is the issue) (U3200)

        So I went ahead and replaced the chip, (actually 3 times with 3 new CD3215 chips) all same issue, at first it wasn't reading at all then it finally started reading. I can rest assured is it not the CD3215 chip now but something else is causing this port to not fully read (god I wish the board would just turn on so we can just recover the data)

        MacBook A1989 repair / no CPU voltage no boot signs
        by Nikan.e
        Hello everyone.

        I have recently obtained a MacBook Pro A1989 model with a touch bar and Apple ID. Unfortunately, it does not want to start up.

        No CPU Voltage.
        U7800 Does produce voltages.
        T2 Chip warming up very very little.

        I do have voltages like 1.8, 0.9, 3.3, 2.5 volts, etc., present. I did not find any short circuits. Unfortunately, the device has no touch ID/start button. So, I have used the debug jumper to put the device into DFU mode. - It is getting recognized as a Macintosh while not in DFU mode and as Apple (DFU) while in DFU mode....

        MacBook Pro A1989 trackpad and keyboard not working
        by biosdi
        Hi guys.
        I Just replaced battery on my MacBook Pro A1989. Unfortunately doing that, I’ve broken the trackpad flex cable (821-01701-a), and I’ve already ordered a spare one. At the same moment I’ve noticed that also the keyboard it’s not working anymore and I’ve found an SMD chip unsoldered and moving freely inside the backplate. I can read L20L on the chip. Is something could explain the keyboard not working or the keyboard doesn’t work due the unconnected trackpad?




        thanks...
