    Locating short - A1286 2.3GHz i7-3615QM - 820-3330-B

    Hello, I have a macbook pro 820-3330-B logic board that's giving me some issues. I had it post with chime without the display connected. When I tried to connect the display the board stopped going to post (no chime).

    Now when I plug it in it starts itself (w/ or without the display connected) and it slowly spins the fans. They spin up then spin down. I am getting a 12v reading at the fuse near the lsdv connector that jumps up and down. I believe the connector on the display was damaged causing the issues.

    I was wondering if I could get some help locating the short? Also, can someone supply me with the board view (and schematic but board views more important).

    Other issue it's having is it won't charge the battery. I can't shut it down, I tried doing the SMC reset but it turns itself back on when the plug is attached. It will not start without the plug even with fully charged battery.

    Thanks!

    So I realized I put the battery plug in backwards. The battery is from a 20120 and this board has the plug tilted 90 degrees and the plug goes in the other way around.

    Now, when I plug in the battery and cable I just get a green light. Won't start and no reaction from keyboard. The battery check button flashes.

    Looking at the board view of the board that the battery came from I am seeing that the wiring order is different. Is this true? Will a battery from an 820-2850 work in the 820-3330?

    Did I fry the board by doing this? Or do I just need the right battery? (If no one knows/answers I'll try to remember to update here when I try it out with a battery for this board.

      Extreme High Current & Low Voltage Short Killer ??
      by DynaxSC
      Hi Folks

      I'm looking for a extreme high current short killer solution for a reasonable cost.

      I have an LGA1700 motherboard (ASUS PRIME Z790-P WiFi) where I exchanged the LGA socket already 3 times, and every time after the socket exchange I get a short of power supply lines VCORE (V variable) and VCCIN_AUX (1.8V).
      After taking off the socket, the shorts dissappear again.
      The soldermask on the socket is already partially demaged from the heat, so I have reconstructed the soldermask by manually painting the missing soldermask parts with a very small top of a...

      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.

      Acer Nitro 5 LA-L181p power LED turns on by 5 secs (Short on PCH rail?)
      by Victor Moreira Silva
      Hello everyone,

      I'm trying to repair my old Acer Nitro 5 (AN517-54-55T5). I've already bought a new laptop, so this is more of a learning project. For the experience, with no high expectations of success.

      Well, my decice specs are the following:

      Model: Acer Nitro 5 AN517-54-55T5
      CPU: Intel Core i5-11400H
      GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
      Motherboard: GH51G LA-L181P Rev:1c

      The symptom:
      When pressing the power button, the power LED lights up for about 5 seconds and then turns off. Initially, the issue was intermittent: sometimes...

      Help me find the short circuit on this WORKING Nvidia GTX1650
      by aaronkatrini
      Hi all,

      Recently picked up this GTX1650 at a local flea market for a low price and wanted to use it on my secondary PC. I first tested the card and saw the fan spin for a split second and then nothing. Immediately I thought of a short circuit. Disassembled and found a shorted SMD capacitor, injected voltage into it (1V/4A) and two Mosfets got hot immediately (QN3103 & QN3107). Desoldered these Mosfets and the card turned back to life.

      Bought replacements from Aliexpress and replaced them afterwards. Tried the card but still the saw the fan spin for a split second...

      9th Gen Dell Optiplex Micro PC motherboard repair: Short Circuit?
      by Geeker007
      Hi All, I have a 9th Gen Dell Optiplex micro PC motherboard which doesn't power on. When I connect the motherboard with power adapter, it goes into safe mode and turns off. So from info I have gathered online, it looks like there is a short circuit on the motherboard. So can you guys help me with figuring out the issue?

      I am new to electronics repair, so my queries could be naive but I am ready to learn.

      So I have a multimeter and a solder with me. But I can try to get a variable voltage power supply with a thermal camera as well. From what I seen online, best way is...
