    Macbook Pro 820-00840-A 20V but not turning on

    Hello all,

    I'm trying to figure out the issue with this macbook pro. It will not turn on or charge. When I plug in the charger using my USB-C ammeter I can see the voltage go from 5V to 11.7V to 20V but there is no current consumption. PP3V3_G3H is present. PPBUS_G3H attempts to go on but goes back off after only a very brief second. I do not see any short on PPBUS_G3H nor do I see any other obvious shorts on the other power rails that come after it. I removed U7650 to isolate all power rails that are created from it and I still get the same symptom. I also tried to replace U7000 with no change.

    I would greatly appreciate any input you have to offer. I have also attached the schematic and board view below.

    Thank you!

    History?
    If you remove F7000 do you still get 0V on its pin 1?

      Hello, thank you.

      My symptom actually ended up changing. It may have ended up happening after changing U7000, I can't remember if I measured PPBUS_G3H after replacing this IC or if I only checked with the ammeter for activity after replacement. Either way I now have a steady 13V on PPBUS_G3H and the current consumption on the ammeter goes between 0mA and 10mA. Still no power though and I do not measure activity on any other voltage rail.

      As for history, I don't know much. There is no sign of liquid damage, the motherboard looks squeaky clean.

          MacBook Pro 2018 with Activation Lock
          by envym
          Hi everyone!

          I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (with Sequoia OS) that I've been using for years with no problem. I recently received an M2 MacBook Pro so I'm mostly using it and not the 2018 one, but since a friend of mine needs a computer, I thought I could restore my 2018 and give it brand-new-like to my friend.

          I tried using the built-in tool to restore the MacBook (Settings > General > Transfer or restore > Delete) but it got stuck when trying to remove the Find Device configuration (it asked me for the password for my old Apple ID -now I use the same account but...

          Macbook Pro 14 2021 - A2442 - 820-02098-A not turning on 5v fluctuation
          by Rickkap
          I would like some help with this MacBook if possible. It came in with not turning on and the Magsafe light was off. After inspecting the logicboard i cannot find any liquid damage and also no burnt or shorted components.
          took some measurement and i can see i have fluctuation on PP3V3_S2 and also PP5V_S2_MAIN amongst other rails. Using the thermal camera RC282 & RC283 were pulsing, but after removing these it was still the same.

          I then did some investigation into why the rails were pulsing and noticed that P5VS2_PWR_EN (comes from U8100) is also doing the same thing.....

          A1990 MacBook Pro 15" Turning on, loads then boot loops, fan spin slow and then fast
          by Stephen
          Got a MacBook Pro 15" A1990 with a board issue, The board turns on, I did a DFU revive to see if it needed a firmware patch, that was successful, however the board just keeps boot looping and turning off and on very quickly. Obviously the DATA Is there, but it wont even launch into recovery, it will just die and turn back on with Apple logo, once it gets really hot it dies, if the laptop sits for the day and is cool, it will turn on then get hot within 1 min then die and turn itself on and repeat. Once it does that it turns itself on and off repeatedly in seconds. I put a thermal camera...

          Macbook Pro A1706 not turning on with battery
          by mferna14
          Hi., today working on a Apple MacBook Macbook Pro A1706 (Board part # 820-00239-A) not turning ON with battery. The notebook turns on 100% fine with USB-C Power adapter (NO BATTERY INSTALLED), boots up well & all seems to be perfect. I connect J6950 to the main battery terminal & it's fine, boots up well but does not work with battery as till now the MB did not detect the battery & no battery icon shows up. As soon as I connect the BDM battery flex cable to J6951, the ampmeter display goes on & off & takes only 5v & this is in a loop (display comes & goes after detecting...

          Macbook A2338 M2 (820-02773) not turning on
          by szape
          Hello!

          I have a Macbook Pro M2 2022 which does not turn on. Both ports have the same behaviour: 5v, then 20v then meter turns off and restarts.

          DFU mode works but trying to recover in Apple Configurator fails (Unexpected device state 'DFU' expected 'RestoreOS' (Probably forced into DFU mode externally)). Apple logo comes on, after 20-30 seconds apple logo disappears but backlight stays on for a minute and then switches off completely at the restore process.

          Charging works in DFU mode.

          PPBUS_AON is fluctuating between 12V-12.4V (diode mode reads...
