    MacBook 12" 820-00244 famous SSD issue

    I have an 2016 12" MacBook here which does not recognise the ssd most of the boots and if does once upon a time it usually does not complete the boot.

    I wanted to benefit from your experience:

    It is 2016 and not the longish 2015 CPU. I can not clearly see that is warped.

    Would you check anything else before attempting a reball / replace of the cpu ?

    And, as a less important side question: Could I install an m7 on a board that came with m3 ?

    best regards

      2015, 2016 and 2017 12" all have the same CPU issue. Pointless to try to fix them as you can't fix the design issue. If you need data, and only if you need data, heat the CPU area for a couple of minutes at 200°C and use Target Disk Mode.

          It's a problem of loosen/oxidated solder balls of the CPU.
          If you reball this CPU with lead solder, then it might be fixed, or not?

              it might be better with leaded solder but one day in 1 - 4 years the problem may return. It is just a poor thermal design.

                  heating does not really help it. the funny thing is that the person that gave tha 12ie to me has all data but wants to use the machine again despite my explanations that the problem will most probably return.

                  Just wanted to see if anyone had a hint what to check else before taking off the cpu

                      MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
                      by rounin
                      Hi everyone,

                      I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

                      🛠 Original Issue
                      The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
                      Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

                      I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

                      MacBook Pro 15" 2016 820-00281 no backlight. Another flexgate issue?
                      by slimmy182
                      Hello, I bought this machine from a friend. It's a 15 inch MacBook Pro 2016 model, logic board 820-00281. He said that the screen would go off if open more than a certaing angle but it's perfect working whit an external display.

                      The backlight screen remains stay off even if I open just a little the lid, so I never see backlight work, but I can confirm that LCD show images as using a torch I can see it on the screen. It seems also that camera is not rocognized as the keyboard backlight stay off and touchbar have full brightness.

                      Is this a classic flexgate issue? I...

                      MacBook A1278 (3115) No PPBUS_G3H Issue

                      Subject: Help Needed: MacBook A1278 (3115) No PPBUS_G3H Issue

                      Hello everyone,

                      I'm working on a MacBook A1278 with the 3115 logic board and facing an issue with no PPBUS_G3H voltage. Here's what I've checked so far:
                      1. U7000 Measurements:
                        • Pin 3 has 0V, even though R7012 shows 16.5V from PPDCIN_S5_CHGR.
                      2. Resistors:
                        • I measured R7010 and R7011 with one leg disconnected, and both tested OK.

                      Based on these findings, I believe U7000 needs to be replaced. However, I have a related question:
                      • If I also decide to replace the SMC, do I need to order it pre-programmed,
                      ...

                      Macbook a1707 2017 model 820-00928 GPU issue
                      by sofles
                      Hello there

                      I have problem with Macbook Pro 15" 2017, model 2017, MB code 820-00928.

                      I bought it as broken with some artefacts on the screen, first I thought that this is problem with ribbon cable but after inspectiing ribbon cable I know it is fine. I tried to reinstall macOs and then I figured out that this must be something with GPU as installation freezes at the end (when drivers are loaded). I installed Windows and was able to install every each of drivers except GPU driver, as soon as I tried to install GPU driver - black screen and restart.

                      A2141 MacBook Pro 16" lid sensor issue.
                      by Stephen
                      Just like the title states. I have been confused at this point. Computer won't turn on when lid angle sensor is plugged in, when unplugged it turns on immediately, however I have tried 4 different lid angle sensors all OEM and calibrated without issue. I even pulled one from a donor computer and still nothing. I know the M1 Pro sensors are married to the board however I do know the 2019 intel are not as long as they came from a donor LCD etc. What I do not get is why is the lid angle sensor forcing the computer to not turn on, another issue I see when the lid angle sensor is disconnected...
