    820-4924 no chime

    Hi I wanna start by saying this board was heavily damaged. when i got it it was completely dead. What's been replaced so far that had corrosion. u1900, u8030, u7400, q7320, q7321, q7310, q7311 and a few capacitors around u7400. I get backlight but the screen it came in with is cracked and the HDMI port doesn't work the area around u9750 had corrosion as well. I will order u9750 when and if I get a chime.

    I'm not running it long because i believe the u5870 chip might not be working as the fans haven't spun even after waiting 60-90 seconds. I have 2 working 820-4924 that take a while for the fan to spin. but im uneasy about this chip I would say I turn it on just long enough for the screen to energize. maybe less than a minute or two

    PPBUS_G3H - 12.59v
    PP3V42_G3H - 3.42v
    PPVRTC_G3H - 3.3v
    PP5V_S5 - 5v
    PP5V_S3 - 5v
    PP5V_S0 - 5v
    PP3V3_S5 - 3.31v
    PP3V3_S0 - 3.3v
    PPDDR_S3_REG - 1.65v
    PPVCC_S0_CPU - 1.78v
    ALL_SYS_PWRGD 3.3V
    CPUVR_PGOOD_R 1.78V

    Things I have tried:

    1) Connect a mouse and it does flash and then its solid.

    2) I can see that the screen starts out dim then gets brighter as if it was booting but I'm not sure because its cracked badly

    3) I also believe the keyboard to be defective as i tried on a working board and it wouldn't boot with the keyboard in question.

    It's not clear what the problem is here.

      Re: 820-4924 no chime

      First I’d like to make sure I indeed do have cpu fan activity. It’s unclear to me at this point if it is.
      I just verified that It does boot
      Second would be chime which also could be just audio circuit as it was also water damaged

      My last question is this on I have a weird spike on pp3v3S5_LL I have a weird overshot when testing with oscilloscope I have a weird spike. Like a mosfet q7560 issue I’ve checked the snuber circuit and it seems good. I don’t want it to kill it in the future. But I’d like to ask your opinion @piernov

        I just wanna fix the fan and audio circuit as it was also water damaged

        My last question is on pp3v3S5_LL I have a weird overshot when testing with oscilloscope I Like a mosfet q7560 issue I've checked the snuber circuit and it seems fine. Should I replace the controller and mosfets? I don't want it to kill it in the future. But I'd like to ask your opinion @piernov

          Fan won't turn on until CPU gets burning hot (above 80°C or something like that).

          Backlight is present so most likely the machine is POSTing properly.

          Chime can be restored with PRAM reset if there's no EFI password. If you confirm you don't have any audio under macOS even after unmuting then you could suspect an issue with the audio circuit and you have to check if macOS detects an audio output.

          P3V3S5_LL is switching at high frequency since it's the unfiltered output of the buck converter before the inductor, so that doesn't matter.

            Macbook A1398 - no startup chime, no boot, but have fans and CPU warm
            by survivalbloke
            Macbook A1398 - had repeating loop of startup chime with no actual boot. Just startup chime, then restart, start up chime, then restart, etc. I pulled the battery and cleared BIOS. It will now power up, fans on, CPU warming, but no startup chime and no boot. I reflashed the BIOS chip but the same thing happening. Where should I go from here?

            Hey guys, so i have here really strange board...

            These steps needs to be done to get a chime board starts to load osx but freezes with no loading bar:

            1.Disconnect battery
            2.P+R+CMD+OPT to pram reset
            3.After only 2-7 atempts to pram reset i get chime.
            4.Then i get chime allways, but if i connect battery, then boards stops to chime till i make steps from 1 to 3.

            Board looked very clean, no liquid damage. Already replaced isl6259 and SMC, good known battery. Still same problem, sometimes turned off board without battery uses 0.03...

            Mac air a1465 fan spin but no boot
            by smic717394
            Hi guys, I have a Mac air 1465 2015, fan spin but no image. After inspecting the main board, I found no corrosion even the test points are nice and shiny.The boards its so clean looks new. Anyways PPBUS_G3H is present 8.6V, PP3V42 is present 3.42V, the CPUVR is present 1.8V and the cpu gets warm, 3V present, 5V present. Since its start fine all the s5, s4,... must be present. I checked the s0 power rails at some points and they there.

            I also programed the flash rom U6100 with few firmware I found on the web, but the same result. Checking with the thermal camera there are 2 heath...

            Macbook Air 820-00165 Static Chime Sound
            by Comp_Pro
            Hello all,

            I have a weird issue to solve here. This macbook air came in showing a black screen even though the backlight was lit. The display was not the issue as I tried another known good display. Upon trying to restart it, sometimes it boots up but freezes at the login page. More commonly however, the macbook will give the chime sound but then get stuck repeating the sound. The first chime sound is normal but the subsequent chimes sounds are crackly. Voltages seem normal, no liquid damage. I did find a blotch of something near one of the crystals on the other side of the CPU...
