    MacBook Pro 13" A2289 No Power

    Hello brothers and sisters! Did a few repairs on the board and it turned on recently then it died. We threw it in the Ultra Sonic cleaner (previous water damage board) then it turned on. After a day or two it seems it completely shut off and wont boot.

    I get a reading on the USB Tester at:
    20.3V
    0.28A rises to 0.89A then to 1.13A then resets back to 0.03 Amps and repeats the cycle. The board gets hot on the left side but the GPU seems to not have any heat, we are assuming the GPU may have a bad cap. It appears to be no Board Views for this board online so we are going off of what we see.

    Side note: Replaced the battery with another OEM (new battery) and replaced the battery cable connector as well. So two new components. Before the other component (cable) would only let the computer get to 20.0V and only go to 0.28A and no more. After replacing the cable it cycles up to 1.13A. Any suggestions? Also we are going to be broadcasting live with this board soon when all the equipment comes in

      Hi SMD, we have the schematics but not the board view for this actual board. We need that to repair it. I am certain it can be repaired fairly quickly once we have a board view. In the mean time we are swinging in the dark sadly. Thanks for your fast response btw!

        This is a 13" machine, it does not have a dedicated GPU.
        820-00850 is somewhat similar.
        It's not clear if current consumption is measured with or without battery.

              Do you fix it or find Boardview file?

                Still no boardview available, only parts placement diagrams at the end of the schematic PDF. They are better than nothing but very frustrating to use, I have been referring to the 820-01987 sch/brdview which are available, seeing as a lot of that board is the same or similar to the A2289 / 820-01598

                  Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                  by Tynan Dill
                  I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                  Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                  I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                  The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                  With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                  Assuming...

                  Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                  Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                  Looking for 13" Macbook Pro A1278 mid 2012 820-2565-A Schematics and Board View
                  by Rezendes
                  Hello, I am looking for any and all files related to the mainboard for 820-2565-A (13" Macbook Pro A1278 mid 2012) schematics/board view.

                  I looked through forum search results and google and was unable to find a board view file, I found a pdf of all the schematics but I don't know where the parts physically are on the board as this is my first macbook board level repair attempt.

                  The macbook charger has a green light, the battery has been replaced and OS reports Normal status but Not charging. After cleaning a corroded capacitor it crumbled off the board. There...

                  MacBook Pro 13" 2020 A2289 - Board issue
                  by Stephen
                  Customer brought in computer for data recovery, was successful in retrieving data however it would not let us reinstall or load an operating system. Did a DFU RESTORE and that was successful, computer launches and goes into internet recovery, however it crashes once it hits 3/4 the way and starts over again. It did this when we tried to load recovery before the DFU restore and assumed maybe a restore would resolve this issue, sadly it does not. Removed the logic board and inspected the board and it does not have any signs of visible liquid damage or any signs of burns or faulty chip areas....
