    MACBOOK A1989 820-00850

    Hello. Need a fresh look. MacBook shows no signs of life.
    When connected to USB-C with the battery connected, the consumption is 20V/0.220A and PPBUSG3H=11V.
    If you disconnect the battery, the consumption will be 5V/0.220A and PPBUSG3H=12.3V
    PP3V3_G3H=3.3V
    PP5V_G3S=0V
    PP1V8_SLPS2R =1.8v =0v=1.8v =... cyclically
    voltage around u7800 appears/disappears cyclically.

    Is PP1v8_SLPS2R shorted? It should be stable. Might be a faulty T2. Are other T2 rails stable or do they all cycle?

    Also, the change in PPBUS when disconnecting battery is unusual; ppbus will be lower on battery and higher on charger(+batt). Have you tried testing board with a known-good case/battery and also DFU restore?

    What work has been done on the board if any? Any signs of damage/liquid near any USB-C controllers at all? 20v/0a can be a ROM issue also, keep in mind. You can swap the ROM or reprogram with clean dump to be sure.

      MacBook Pro A1989 820-00850-A not powering on
      by ErinV
      Hey everyone!

      I have a MacBook Pro A1989 with a 820-00850-A board that recently stopped working. I used it overnight to charge my phone, in the morning it didn't turn on, I assumed flat battery but now won't charge and doesn't start at all.

      I have fully dissassembled it, when disconnected the battery reads at 0.012V. Even with the battery disconnected the laptop doesn't boot.

      The diode voltages around all 4 CD3215's seem fine.

      For all CD3215 (UB300, UB400, U3100 and U3200) I read just above 5V on PP20V_USBC_TA_VBUS, 3.3V on PP3V3UPC_TA_LDO, 1.8V...

      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...

      Macbook A1989, 820-00850, won't boot. 20V, 0A.

      Today I have a MacBook A1989 at work 820-00850. When assembled, the laptop switches to 20 volts but the consumption is 0.00 ampere. if the motherboard is on the table then the consumption of all ports is 5 volts and0.35 amperes and does not go to 20 volts only if you assemble a MacBook.
      Here are some measurements, maybe someone can tell what the problem is.
      The initial problem was a burnt out induction coil L8504 (replaced).
      When connected to another MacBook, it constantly hangs in dfu and cannot install updates, something is wrong.

      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...
