    Macbook pro 820-3332 No Backlight

    hello all,
    so there is image but no backlight, i can use the laptop with external screen via HDMI,
    i have checked the board and found an damaged LCD fuse F9700, replaced it but this didnt solve the problem.

    these are some readings that i have made, i have measured all with the LCD connected

    L9000 (PP5VR3V3_SW_LCD) - PIN1 5V PIN2 5V

    C9000 (PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT)- PIN1 0V PIN2 0V

    F9700 PIN1 12.94V PIN2 0V

                    i have found that the pin 1 and 2 on left on lvds connector are damaged.
                    can this cause the backlight not to work? because backlight connector is not damaged as you can see on the picture

                      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...

                      ISSUE: NO POWER

                      From the first mosfet 20v is not passing through, pin 4 has 19.5v and the first mosfet is a P-CHANNEL mosfet (SI7121DN) i think the pin 4 should be lower to active the 1st mosfet to allow the 20v to pass to second mosfet ive check all for shorting in the board , i did;nt find in rails, so ive check the schematic and im suspecting that, my Q61 is faulty due to its pin 1 is 0.47ohms? im not pretty sure, hope someone can help me figure out this issue.

                      General question about MacBook power rails for repair.
                      by SarcasticOP
                      I am looking at an A2337 and found this for the order of power rails and what they do. Can this be confirmed before I dive into hunting down power rails that do not exist or are not neccisary?
                      • PPBUS_G3H (12.6V-12.8V)
                        • This is the main power rail that supplies power to the entire system. Check this rail first, as it must be present for other power rails to work.
                      • PP3V42_G3H (3.42V)
                        • This power rail is derived from PPBUS_G3H and is used to power the SMC (System Management Controller) and other essential circuits. It should be present if PPBUS_G3H is working correctly.
                      • PPVRTC_G3H (3.3V)

                      A2941 Macbook air 15” - 5V 0a
                      by obelix24
                      I’m working on one macbook air 15” m2 that was water damaged.

                      keyboard, lcd, microphone connectors were damaged so i’ve replaced all of them and without screen connected macbook worked fine. Keyboard &trackpad and also lid sensor was working fine.

                      i’ve put macbook in shelf and order new screen so i can fully repair it.

                      Now i got the screen and macbook stays at 5v 0a.

                      i’ve tried if it’s not in DFU with another macbook but it’s not detected at all.

                      i don’t have schematics so i don’t know where to start can someone help me?...
