    Macbook a1706, dead keyboard.

    Anyone has experience troubleshooting keyboard on this model?
    From schematics it seems an i2c keyboard, the problem is I can't find a good test point con scl and sda, in order to see if voltage is present (usually i2c works with the 2 rail pulled up with a resistor to a voltage source ... components attached to the two rail communicate pulling the line down.

      Review the cabling. Is the trackpad working? Fan spin is normal or high?

          trackpad is working fine. So, my guess is pull up voltage to be present since they seems to be on the same i2c chain. Am I right?
          Cabling seems good, at least before removing the logic board .... maybe tomorrow I will remove the board and check on the other side.

              it's trackpad/keyboard replaceable right away? I mean, can emerge anyproblem with ID of trackpad/keyboard? Are they combine by ID? TY

                  Yes. A1706 does not have such ID locks. Each part is replaceable. You should test with another known good keyboard/trackpad and cabling. View YT videos on this topic.

                          Macbook A1706 touchpad and keyboard not working. Please help

                          Hi guys i am new to macbook repairs (i mostly do microsoldering on iphones and android devices. I need your assistance with macbook a1706 (touchbar edition) that came in without touchpad and keyboard functionality. External keyboard and mouse does work but the keyboard and touchpad on the macbook does not work. I changed the touchpad flex, also replaced the touchpad but the issue persisted. I then measured voltage on the board and found that PIN 44-50 of the touchpad connector (J4501) got 11.2V instead of 12.6V. Those pins required 12.6v and they get their 12.6v from PPVIN_S4-TPAD_FUSE . I measure...

                          MacBook Pro 2011 turns on with keyboard light , screen dead
                          by Rav_tangle
                          Hi all , thanks for having me & I think this has been asked before but my case seems a bit odd.
                          I have a MacBook Pro , board 820-2915a and it turns on , chimes etc etc , keyboard lights up, fans spins , can turn caps lock on/off but screen is dead.
                          Iv tried the resets , shine torch through back logo , nothing , it seems the screen has no power. If I plug charger , it charges but if I disconnect battery it displays green light but won't turn on. Iv tried screen on with another board & it works & seems I'm not getting any voltage at pin 2 , next to ground pin .
                          is this...

                          Macbook Pro A1706 820-00923 no power after replacing top cover and keyboard
                          by johnbeton
                          Hello,

                          I have a A1706 with 820-00923-A board. The laptop came in with non-working keyboard. I bought a new top-cover with keyboard and transfered everything to the new topcover.
                          Since then the macbook will not charge or power-up. Before replacing top cover, I started the macbook to test, and it worked fine apart from keyboard. Then shut it down and did replacement.
                          This is what I measure so far:


                          Resistance from F7000 to ground is 123 Ohm on pin 1 and 2

                          PPBUS_G3H = 0,79v
                          PPBUS_HS_CPU = 0,79v
                          PPBUS_HS_OTH5V = 0,79v
                          PPBUS_HS_OTH3V3...
