    MacBook Pro 16" 2019 A2141 No Power

    Hello all

    Your favorite BadCaps user here!

    I bring to you a repair we just attempted.

    Originally it was at 5V (water damage, very significant)

    I repaired the computer replaced all the bad caps and a few resistors and now the computer is finally getting to 20V
    But the amps were originally going to .28A now they are not even moving pass .11A

    So right now we have 20V and .11A into the computer.

    I checked PPBUS_G3H and its present. Pulled up power alias 1 and 2 and I am kind of dumbfounded. The voltage is present at CPU HS etc. But what gives? Check G3H rail, present. I repaired a PPBUS_G3H rail that had a pad that was removed terrible but I was able to salvage what was left of it to be able to put a CAP on it so voltage is now there. I am looking to have a point to look at where I am missing.

    Any ideas or clues?

      Why not list the power rails?

          I am looking at Power Alias page 1 and going down the line

          PBUS and High Side is present.
          20V is present so PPBUS (aka greenlight is present)

              Also get this Piernov

              3 TB ports gets 20V
              One only gets 5.12V . I am assuming this is the culprit that is causing it to not boot

                  You should watch some Louis Rossmann videos.
                  20V is on PPDCIN_G3H.
                  PPBUS_G3H should be 12.6V
                  "Green light" (not present on USB-C machines) would be dependent on PP3V42_G3H (not present on USB-C machines).

                  Also there are many more power rails than this.

                      I meant as there is no Greenlight but the 20V is present as in Greenlight visually for the USB C tester if it was a plug in DC. Sorry didn't explain that well.

                              Figured it out! It was the 5Volt area preventing the computer from booting.

                                  Hello. If you could please help me understand what I am doing wrong...

                                  This model, Macbook Pro 2019 16" A2141, 512GB, EMC 3347, with T2 Security Chip, had 4 NAND Chips shorted in 1 wing (U9100, U9200, U9300, U9400) and it has 1 more in the 2nd wing (U8600) BUT NOT shorted. All chips are TSB4227 TOSHIBA-KIOXIA SN4192TWNA12014 BGA110 128GB. I got 4 new nand chips for 1 wing and programmed them by specific position of course with JCID P13 programmer.

                                  I also replaced the tps power ic for the ssd.
                                  Now all rails come up, including the ssd rails 0.9v, 1.8v, 2.5v....

                                  MacBook Pro 2019 A2141 820-01700 NAND Issue Stuck in DFU

                                  Ok, here's an issue ive got on a A2141 820-01700 MBP 16' 2019. No signs of life, 5.06v 0.0a on usb-c meter, on each 4 usb-c ports.

                                  Nand voltages are missing.

                                  I've found no shorts at all so far, no signs of heat via thermal camera either.

                                  MacBook Pro 16" (2019) A2141: power consumption? Dead GPU? MacOS not installing
                                  by tomtom67
                                  A friend brought his fresh-from-ebay macbook pro A2141 after he failed replacement keyboard plugging.
                                  I fixed all the little problems he introduced.

                                  I am unable to install macOS to this device. Both Sequoia and Catalina (from Internet Recovery) start to install, but after ~2-5 minutes into the installation the macbook does a hard restart (max fan spin for a split second, then reboot without chime).

                                  I noticed what I think is a very high power consumption, like 20V/1.7A when activating WiFi for internet recovery, and more like 20V/3.7-4.1A while downloading the recovery...

                                  Hi all,

                                  I am trying to fix a T2 Macbook A2141 820-01700 board that's stuck in DFU mode.

                                  The SSDs have correct voltages

                                  PP2V5_NAND_SSD0 = 2.5V
                                  PP2V5_NAND_SSD1 = 2.5V

                                  PP0V9_SSD0 and PP0V9_SSD 1 = 0.9V

                                  PP1V8_SSD0 and PP1V8_SSD1 = 1.8V

                                  I can force the laptop to DFU mode using the SOC_FORCE_DFU using SWK003. Apple Configurator 2 tries to restore the Mac but it fails back to RECOVERY.

                                  Looking at the diagram here - https://repair.wiki/w/Apple_T2_platform Step 6, it says the problem could be loading from SSD,...

                                  MacBook Pro 2019 16inch A2141 no power
                                  by ApplePie14
                                  My Macbook, which had been working fine until two weeks ago, now has unstable power and won't turn on.

                                  When I took it apart, I found a lot of dust, so I think that might be what caused the damage.

                                  I checked with a USB meter and found that the voltage is 20V, and the current consumes a maximum of about 150mA, then fluctuates between 4 and 70mA.

                                  The same thing happens when the battery is removed.

                                  There were no short circuits in the PPBUS_G3H or NAND.
