    Requesting help identifying chip in Macbook Pro A2485

    Hi ya folks,

    I have this MacBook Pro A2485 (M1 Pro 2021) which came in for repair.

    It had a shorted SSD power supply chip. Therefore it was stuck at 5V.
    I replaced it and the SSD are fine. No more shorts.

    But The mac still pulls 5V and 200mA. If i leave it alone for 5 mins, the mac manages to receive 20V and 40mA. Of course, which doesnt mean the mac starts after power meter reading 20V.

    But while the mac is stuck at 5V, i checked the board with thermal and found this chip was trying to start. Chip picture is attached.
    Chip marking is 84U504ZtD124

    I googled it and searched the entire web. Nothing about it. I need some help folks. Please have a look at the pic and let me know.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Love you all.

          Bud, im trying to buy this chip to replace, but search under PTN38444 on internet shows up nothing.
          I cannot find any chip at all.
          Is there a different name i could use?

            Donor board might be the only way.

                ASRock B650M PRO RS - BIOS CHIP 25Q256JW BLOCKED BY STATUS REGISTERS
                by DynaxSC
                Hi

                I have a very strange issue with the BIOS SPI chip of an ASRock B650M PRO RS motherboard.
                The SPI chip is an Winbond 25Q256JWEQ model (1V8).
                The motherbaord doas not POST - it lits only CPU and DRAM EZ Debug Leds, and stays that way forever.
                The Flashback function of the motherbaord is also not working, despite all instructions followed correctly - I'm 100% sure of this.

                I have then desoldered the chip, backupped the contents, and tried to earease the chip in order to program stock image, but the chip is locked by status registers SREG2 (TB) and SREG6...

                MacBook Pro 14". The screen DP chip failed.
                by SSBDADC234

                When replacing the screen of this MacBook model, the DP855A chip must be moved from the existing screen for the screen to operate properly.
                However, when I removed the DP855A chip from the existing screen, I must have done something wrong and the chip broke.
                Testing the chip pins with a multimeter revealed a short circuit inside the chip.
                Is it impossible to repair this? I couldn't find a programmer for this chip, nor any eeprom programmer software.​...

                Help identifying this chip for Yoga 7 16IRL8
                by trepachka
                This chip is shorted thru. Based on what I see, it's either a 3.3V or 5V buck converter, just my guess. The markings on the chip state "S2=AB".

                A photo of the chip is attached.

                Thank you....

                Need help identifying an IC chip on a Bush DAB radio (BD-1801)
                by tyler123456
                Hi,

                Not sure whether anyone can help but I'm trying to identify the IC chip in the photo below.

                I purchased a faulty Bush DAB radio (model # BD-1801) and identified that an IC chip was blown on it. Unfortunately, I couldn't read the manufacturer name / model number of the IC chip.

                I purchased another (working) BD-1801 so that I could open it up to find out the IC details - but the IC chip details are missing (as you can see in the photo.)

                Given the two huge blobs of solder either side of it I'm guessing it regulates power(?)

                Anyone...
