    Apple MacBook Pro 820-2530

    Hi everyone,
    I'm needing some guidance tracking down this fault.
    The logic board starts up with fan spinning full speed, and originally I thought it was just a backlight problem as there's no input voltage on the backlight driver chip as well as no enable voltage - Although there is 12v at the fuse F9800.

    However when I shine a light at the back of the screen there doesn't seem to be any video there either. Also there's no chime when it starts.

    I have the schematic and matching boardview file, and using this I seem to have all the correct power rails apart from the missing power at U9701.

    This rail reads around 400k ohms when measured to ground so I'm not sure if that would count as short? I'm also not sure if a short on this rail would stop the video and the chime??

    Any help GREATLY appreciated !

      I tried resetting or the a Pram reset? Hey try taking a resistor off of the board before the LED driver and see what side you have a short on that will at least help pinpoint which direction you need to go and trace the short from.

                  A noob needs help for Apple Macbook Air M1 2020 A2337 - logic board short circuit
                  by Guest
                  Hello all!

                  Recently I've got a broken Macbook Air M1 2020 A2337 of eBay with a broken screen and not turning on issue.

                  After some tinkering I've found C5201 capacitor to be blown. This is where I hit a wall since I am a total noob in this area and have no idea what else to look for. C5201 is on one line with 3 more capacitors which visually seem ok, but beep on continuity mode and also both sides of all capacitors beep when tested with ground from the board. This to me sounds like a short, but I am not able to find what component is before the capacitors to test it....

                  MacBook Pro 14" A2442 Short on PPBUS_AON but no short present when injecting voltage!
                  by Stephen
                  I check PPBUS_AON and there is a short present on the line, the computer shows a short when testing for short to ground, so when I inject voltage into the line, I get 0AMPS so no short is showing up. I have replaced a blown cap on this board that exploded and tested for the short and it is now removed. Any suggestions? I tested voltage at the line when the fuses are connected and I am getting 1.2 Volts at the line.

                  macbook pro M1 a2338 no video on internal display PP3V3_S2 short
                  by sdogs
                  Greetings to the entire forum, I ask you for help because I'm going crazy. A dear friend of mine gave me a macbook pro M1 A2338 that only works with an external screen. With the internal one, no backlight or image. Only the external display is detected from the system settings.
                  First I changed the display flat, then I made a backup with time machine and tried a reset in dfu but nothing to do, always the same problem.
                  I analyzed the logic board, it shows no sign of liquid or visible damage. I then moved on to examine the logic with the thermal camera and found that the UP701 chip was...

                  Apple 076-00236 Genuine Apple Data Migration Tool for MacBook Pro 2016 2017
                  by samstown
                  Hello,

                  This special tool from Apple is used to recover data from Macbook A1706. I've been using it for a while but it stops working. When connecting Thunderbolt 3 between the tool and working Macbook, Macbook should prompt "new device detected, allow or not"... but it doesn't.

                  Has anyone ever experience this ? It's not a cabling or power supply issue, some IC have stopped working but not sure which one. Probably the one that manager thunderbolt 3

                  Thanks
                  Claude...
