    a1278 board 820-2936-b doesn't charge

    hi
    I have a macbook pro that doesn't charge (820-2936-b)
    this is my situation:

    - magsafe has always green led, the macbook works well with it plugged.

    - if i connect an already charged battery it won't turn on but

    - after power on with magsafe, it stays on when i disconnect it (with charged battery)

    i haven't any service manual...

    please help me... thanks

              SMBUS_SMC_BSA_SDA is short circuit... 0 volts
              where can be the problem with it?

                correct schematic.

                check pin 10 of u7000 "SMBUS_SMC_BSA_SDA" if shorted.
                remove "BIL" cable and check again.

                if still short remove u7000 and check if still shorted pin 10 u7000.

                    the short is made now from the bil cable, but if i disconnect it the led is same green and there is always the x on the battery icon

                      remove c6952 and check again.

                      if still short remove d6950 and check again.
                      edit: check also r6950 value if it's 10k.

                            voltage on r6950 is 0v

                            pin 4 3.5 v
                            pin 5 0v
                            pin 6 3.5v
                            pin 7 12v
                            pin 8 12v
                            pin 9 12v

                            measures taken with battery connected

                                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                                          I looked through forum search results and google and was unable to find a board view file, I found a pdf of all the schematics but I don't know where the parts physically are on the board as this is my first macbook board level repair attempt.

                                          The macbook charger has a green light, the battery has been replaced and OS reports Normal status but Not charging. After cleaning a corroded capacitor it crumbled off the board. There...

                                          Hi There,

                                          This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

                                          After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

                                          More Details

                                          TV Model - LG OLED77G1PUA

                                          Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

                                          Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
