    A2141 Repair Wiki Error

    Not sure if anybody here is a repair wiki editor but
    https://repair.wiki/w/MacBook_Pro_A2...w_at_5V_repair

    It makes the erroneous claim that "LEFT SIDE TOP PORT IS CONTROLLED BY U3100"

    It is not. Just looking at the USB jumper connections on a board View will confirm this, or just remove U3100 and see that the top jack still powers at 5V and the bottom jack is now dead.

    Also what does top and bottom even mean when they're both in the same plane. Forward and Rear make more sense.

      I believe you can edit / revise / update the pages to grow the database of cases.

          A2141 minor liquid damage, U3100 TOP port dead. Periodically boots to 20V ~1A on other USBC ports
          by abajor
          Just wondering if anybody has seen this issue. I'm assuming that all of the CD3217's are semi functional for the chips to request 20V from the PSU.

          This unit had some soda spattered up into the side vent. I ultrasonic cleaned the board, now getting this weird sometimes requesting 20V behavior, then it goes back to 5.2V ~ 25mA The U3200 jack cycles.
          I'm hoping this is just an issue with some components between the TOP Jack and U3100 and not U3100 itself.

          Not seeing anything unusual on thermals just some of the power supply inductors getting warm when it's requesting...

          A2141 820-01700 Water Damage L8504 Damaged, U3100/U3200 power cycles UB300/UB400 5V .25A
          by abajor
          Like title says A2141 came in with Water Damage, customer desperately wants the data.

          The actual water ingress doesn't appear too bad it sat for a day but was very dusty internally. I have no idea why L8504 was arced there is no apparent moisture there or around the LVDS cable; however, the LVDS to screen screw studs had popped off at some point and somebody tried securing it with kapton tape.

          I had to create a micron wire pad jumper to reconnect the south side of the L8504 since the primary pad was blasted down to the vias.

          That said after cleaning up the...

          MBP 13inch 2018 No Power - 820-00850-07 motherboard faulty (U3100 get's hot)
          by francescoranchi
          Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum but I hope I can find help and also help others at the same time!

          I have a MacBook Pro 13inch from 2018 and it doesn't turn on anymore it's completely gone. I was using it connected to a USB-C / HDMI adapter to connect it to the tv when it just turned off and it's not powering on anymore.

          I don't have an AMP meter so I can't see how many amps are getting pulled. The only symptom is the U3100 getting very hot, upon closer inspection it looks like it burned because there's a small hole on the top surface of the IC (I've already seen...

          - Compatible parts from other Avita V14 / NS14A2 / NS14A8 models

          A2141 issues after display replacement
          by macabook
          Hi everyone,
          I have replaced a broken display on A2141 with a good one, taken from similar model, now the image and backlight works fine. But the camera, the true tone and keyboard backlight is not working. I made some research on internet but I am still not sure how to fix it, according to logiwiki the A2141 display is compatible with all similar model but we need to use a1707 flex cable, so my questions are:
          1-does the cable will make every thing work fine ?
          2-Do we need to swap display IC chips from the old display to make everything work correctly,( I saw it on multiple video...
