                              Macbook Pro mid 2015 battery required to boot?
                              by twonk9098
                              I have read many forums that state the Macbook Pro 2015 needs / does not need a battery to boot. I'm not convinced as yet which is correct.
                              The Macbook Pro mid 2015 I have has no battery and do not really want to buy one just to test.
                              This model has the newer trackpad which is not clickable when turned off.
                              At the moment, without battery it does turn on with no display (with backlight), no chime and then turns off after 13 seconds. I see this from the power draw on my DTPS.
                              If I hold the power button whilst connecting the magsafe 2 charger it turns on, again no image but...

                              Need BIOS/EFI dump for MacBook Air A1466 2015 EMC 2925 (8gb)
                              by yura8
                              Hi there! I have not so usual situation...

                              I have 2015 MacBook Air A1466 EMC 2925 with 8Gb of RAM. It seams that I've killed it by bad SSD adapter. It starts, cooler works... But no chime, screen is black. SMC reset seams works, NVRAM reset doesnt works...

                              My repair guy has checked all possible. It's all ok with power. The last idea - I could kill EFI firmware... So, I need a firmware of EFI to check it. I have a programmer. But I don't have a similar laptop now to download it and compare

                              P.S. If you have else any ideas about repair, or you had a similar...

                              by resistor83
                              Hi everyone, a customer brought me an original Apple SSD (mz-jpv2560/0a4) from a 2015 MacBook Pro to ask me to recover the data. He told me that the computer was taken to the Apple center but that there was a problem with the motherboard and therefore it could not be repaired....
                              However they removed the SSD so for try to recover data
                              I tried to insert this SSD into another 2014 MacBook Pro that I had but the SSD could not be seen either from the recovery or from an operating system started from USB (BigSur or El Capitan)
                              I also tried with a USB adapter but nothing
                              I also...

                              by BakirIzmetbegovic
                              Hello folks,
                              I got an MacBook Air Late 2015 for not charging battery.
                              Battery is good (400 cycles) and everything was working great but battery won't increase percentage. But will charge if connected to another MacBook.
                              So I wanted to make sure that battery connector J6950 was good so I added more solder to the connector pads. After that Laptop won't turn on at all.
                              But charger cable gives me orange light.
                              After that I noticed that I accidently shorted 3 small pads with solder bulb right next to the connector. those pads are from Q2090 numbers
                              3 = DBGLED_S3_D...
