    MACBOOK A3241 NO POWER

    I have the above macbook which was spilled water.
    After some time i managed to get it running for 24 hours with some connector on board disconnected. when i connected the connectors the macbook was turning on but within 3-4 seconds was shutting down.
    i disconnected the connectors again and now is not power on.
    the voltage is at 5v but current is .4a and goes to 0A and then back to .4A. it means it restarts.
    the main board is covered and you do not see anything.

    General question about MacBook power rails for repair.
    by SarcasticOP
    I am looking at an A2337 and found this for the order of power rails and what they do. Can this be confirmed before I dive into hunting down power rails that do not exist or are not neccisary?
    • PPBUS_G3H (12.6V-12.8V)
      • This is the main power rail that supplies power to the entire system. Check this rail first, as it must be present for other power rails to work.
    • PP3V42_G3H (3.42V)
      • This power rail is derived from PPBUS_G3H and is used to power the SMC (System Management Controller) and other essential circuits. It should be present if PPBUS_G3H is working correctly.
    • PPVRTC_G3H (3.3V)

    Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74 power issue
    by GLISIT
    Hi all,

    TL;DR - this laptop is driving me nuts with the oddball power-related behaviors. Appreciate any insight you can provide!


    I'm experiencing a power issue on an Asus Probook P5440UF-XB74. Although I've worked with electronics and computers for decades, this is my first attempt at getting into motherboard-level component troubleshooting. Any help the community can provide is greatly appreciated!

    A few weeks ago I was using the laptop (on battery power) for a Zoom meeting. The battery was running very low (long meeting) but I wasn't worried about...

    Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
    by sam_sam_sam
    I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

    One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

    MacBook A2179 Audio board+Power button boardview & schematic needed
    by Darren Hibbert
    Hi.

    Long shot but does anyone have a schematic & boardview for the audio board+power button on a Macbook A2179?

    There is a shorted cap on mine and I need to know if I can safely remove it or whether I need to replace it and with what capacitor.

    Many thanks. ...
