    820-2915-B Trackpad / Keyboard Woes

    Got a 2011 Macbook Pro 15" here with a dead trackpad and keyboard. Looking for the trackpad schematics (for the flex cable) and cannot do much till then.

    Basically, this was working well last night except the Enter, N, Y, and 6 keys did not respond. I tried new working keyboards and they had the same problem, so I knew it was the mobo. HOWEVER, I uplugged the trackpad while the system was running (like an idiot!) and plugged it back in and then saw the magic smoke I don't know where the smoke came from though.

    Now it won't detect the keyboard at all. Q: Does the keyboard never get detected if the trackpad is bad??

    I don't want to repair U5701 unless absolutely necessary as its wedged between both connectors which will likely melt and need replacing too :/

    So far:
    3V3_S4 - 3.3V
    3V42_G3H - 3.4V
    TPAD_VBUS_EN - 3.3V
    PP18V5_S4 - 5V (seems low but a working machine shows this)
    Z2_BOOST_EN - 3.3V

    should I go poking around for clock signals? Help!

    Thanks

    Replacing CY8C24794 (U7501) did the trick (PSOC USB controller). Holy hell was that not a fun job though. It took me a while before realizing the heatsink on the back had to be removed because it was sucking away all the heat from the GND plane under U7501. Eventually I said "screw it!" and drilled a hole into the center of the chip so I could reach the ground pad. I couldnt remove it otherwise, even after 10minutes + on direct 450 degree heat from a quality reflow station.

    Works now tho, so yay!

      Hi. I made the same mistake and need to replace CY8C24794.
      Data sheets on google says it’s programmable. Did you need to do anything to make it work or did you simply buy the chip, fit it and it worked ?

        Take it from a donor board.

          A2681 Keyboard, trackpad and sleep?!
          by iMuhtaseb
          Wow it's been a while since I posted!

          This is a weird case, it has a history of liquid spill a year ago but customer did not want to replace neither trackpad or keyboard.. fast forward for today:

          A2681 turns on but not trackpad or keyboard feedback (or external keyboard and mouse) and then after a minute or so the Mac sleeps..

          It's a NOT a sleep sensor or trackpad or keyboard or daughterboard or anything else (I replaced all those); it's the logic board..

          Tested another locked logic board on customer's top case and it posted with keyboard and...

          Hi Guys,

          This Mac come with dead issues (severe water damage), now it’s turning ON except Trackpad and Keyboard not working.

          Already check and write down DM for JT400 and JT201 don’t find any abnormal value (I don’t have unit for compare).

          Already try,
          • Replacing Trackpad Flex Cable
          • Replacing New Trackpad
          • Replacing Little Board (Daughter Board)
          • Try using New Keyboard
          Still no change at all, Trackpad and Keyboard not working.

          So I check “Power Load Switches” and this is all the numbers,
          UC830 > 1 = 3.297V ; 3 =1.757V ; 4 = 3.798V...

          Macbook A2338 M2 (EMC 8162) keyboard not functioning, trackpad is working
          by Vliegenier04
          Hi! This Mac has been an headscratcher for me, I can't seem to figure out the issue. The Macbook has gotten water damage to the front of the keyboard connector and battery connector. The keyboard connector was dead, by which I mean it was completely corroded and I have replaced it with a brand new one.
          I have verified all the pins are connected to the main board and the main voltages (PP1V8_AONSW_KBD_ISNS and PP3V3_AON_KBD_CONN) are both present, with and without keyboard attached.

          Unfortunately, the keyboard does NOT want to work, caps lock LED not functioning as well as any...

          820-00426 (A1398 2015) no trackpad, no keyboard.
          by nicocorradini
          Hi! I have this 2015 A1398 with 820-00426 board that's driving me crazy. It originally came because of charging problems (MagSafe Board roasted, also MagSafe cable, etc. After disassembly, clean and assembly, my assistant (literally) broke FL803 and other componentes. Obviously, no screen or backlight. After replacing them, and also the LVDS connector, and LVDS flex on the screen, the board started fine, charges, chimes, shows Apple Logo, but surprise: no more trackpad or keyboard.

          Important notes:
          -Click works, so, trackpad is alive.
          -Already tried with another trackpad,...
