    820-00165 issues - waht can i do

    Hello community, I have a MacBook Air 820-00165 with an i5 and 8GB Ram. The logic board doesn't want to start. I've taken some measurements but I can't really get any further.

    And please excuse me if something is spelled wrong, I have to use a translator.

    -------

    PPBUS_G3H = 8.6 V (stable)
    PP3V42_G3H = 3.44 V (stable)
    First Always/SMC signals
    SMC_RESET_L = 3.4 V (stable → SMC running)
    SMC_PM_G2_EN = pulses between 0 V ↔ 3.3 V
    PM_PWRBTN_L = pulses between 0 V ↔ 3.3 V
    PM_SLP_S5_L = pulses between 0 V ↔ 0.2 V

    S5/S4 supplies

    PP3V3_S5 (L7520) = pulses 0 ↔ 3.3 V (not stable, “hiccup”)
    PP5V_S4RS3 (L7560) = 0 V (does not come up because 3V3-S5 is missing)

    Regulator U7501 / Power Good

    PGOOD1 (3V3) = 0V
    PGOOD2 (5V) = pulses between 0 ↔ 3.3 V
    P3V3S5_EN_R = pulses between 0 ↔ 3.3 V
    P5VS4RS3_EN_R = 0V
    S5_PWRGD (U8130) = pulses between 0 ↔ 3.3 V

    U7501 internal pins

    VREG5 = 5 V, drops briefly every ~2 s
    VREG3 = constant 3 V
    VREF2 = 2 V, drops synchronously with VREG5
    SW1 (3V3 branch) = 0 V (no switching visible)

    Resistance measurements (without current)

    A1 (PP3V3_S5 → GND) = 3.1 kΩ (no short circuit)
    R7560 (5V divider) = correct 23.2 kΩ
    R7522 = 3 Ω (perhaps correct according to the plan, but needs to be checked in context → not the feedback divider)
    R7537 = unequipped (no-stuff, normal)​
    and.. yes I actually use an AI to help BUT! I can't get any further because I don't know what else I should or can do.

    It feels like I measure the same signal 3 or 4 times and suddenly it's component XYZ... So you can't really call it a help.​

    Pulsing only when you press the power button? Can you confirm? If not, test with a pair of tweezers and use the SMD pads to bypass the power button.

    Search for R5115 and R5116 - one side will be visible to you.

      So it pulsates as soon as it gets power. I don't press any power buttons - the logic board is lying naked on the table. The MagSafe plug first turns green then red. I don't have any fan spin

        what value in L7520 in diode mode ?

        is fuse f7140 100% ok ?

              i have to wait to repair actually

              The Board has a tiny but bad water damage area R1303 - R1300.. This is too small for my current tools. I have to buy tools for that first.

                The repair is done! Successfully.

                I Take a Donor Board and use the R Area from this Board.

                Now i wanna try to upgrade a 4GB modell to 8 GB ^^.. ( i have to buy now a BGA178 Stencil)


                Thank you all!! Peace from Germany!!

                  MSI Z370-A Pro, works but does not power off or reboot and USB issues
                  by gretti
                  I have a MSI Z370-A Pro. The board does not reboot or shut down from the Windows recovery console. USB communications stop and the status light on USB 1 stays on and does not blink. I have programmed a new BIOS with a CH341A programmer already, swapped RAM, PSU, CPU. The board will power off when the power button is held and resets when the reset switch is pressed, but it will not react to the reset switch if already told by software to shut down or restart. The board will reboot from BIOS after a save and exit command.

                  The MSI BIOS included the ME firmware for the board. The size...

                  by SoulFreeze
                  Hi, trying to troubleshoot some problems with this laptop I just finished repairing which had power issues (Burnt Buck converter - SY8883DFC shorted to ground).

                  After repairing the above issue, I realized the following remaining problem,
                  Sound only comes from bottom speakers, top palmrest speakers don't work. Neither does the headphone jack (static/buzzing).
                  The computer recognizes headphones are connected and displays a popup in windows
                  Sometimes, the computer will boot up and the sound will be working fine. However, if I run intensive programs and the computer...

                  Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH - Ideapad 3 well known solder joint issues
                  by Nagyesz
                  I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH, which has started exhibiting the well-known issues of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3.

                  All stress tests run perfectly, and there are no performance issues. However, the solder joints are almost certainly starting to fail. If the top two screws on the back are not screwed in, moving the screen results in a BSOD or, in some cases, a slight artifact and freeze. This is a 2023 notebook..

                  How can I extend its lifespan? Could reflow help?

                  It has ryzen 5 5500h, rtx 2050, no soldered ram.

                  Example of the artifacts:

                  Asus Rog strix g15 g513ih hn0865 and it's having display issues while running on igpu
                  by Skgod
                  Hey I am having Asus Rog strix g15 g513ih hn0865 and it's having display issues while running on igpu. Works fine when I open any game or whatsapp windows application. The issues are :
                  Black screen, freeze
                  The weird thing is that when as long as the laptop is running on igpu the problem keeps happening. But as soon as I open any game or whatsapp windows application, the laptop works completely fine.
                  When the screen freeze or black screen I used to move the display lid up and down and it usually works like that.
                  So can anyone tell me what would be the possible cause?...
