    Help identifying Macbook a2159 hall effect sensor

    Hello, been trying to find a replacement hall effect sensor and CAP value for macbook pro a2159. Cant find value on CAP nor The sot23 sensor in schematic. Sot23 is roughly 1,5mm long. Not sure exact lenght.

    What Will happen if they arent mounted?

    Thanks / Ken

    Post the logic board # of the format 820-xxxx from your unit.

    Post a clear picture to show where the part is located. It will help to find a replacement.

    From a quick review, there are 2 such hall effect devices onboard. Each is to determine if the LCD lid is OPEN or CLOSED to respectively allow for the backlight to turn ON / OFF / place the logic board into sleep mode.

    I would think that one working sensor is enough.

    Does your logic board work to disable the backlight when the lid is closed ?

    You should be able to use a magnet and move it around the perimeter of the LCD panel to mimic the lid closing / opening.

        It goes to sleep normally and screen turn off when closing lid. Magnet dont do anything What i could see.
        Guess it only needs 1 sensor then

          yes, I think you are fine with the single sensor. Being hall effect, there should be a sweet spot to test this feature with a magnet but since it works as expected, you should be fine.

            Macbook a2159 Hall sensor not working correctly
            by monkeigh
            Hi All,


            New user here found this website because I am having some trouble fixing my macbook A2159.

            My wife accidentally pushed over a vase filled with water and just a tiny but splashed into my macbook..

            I opened it up and removed the motherboard to clean it with IPA. when it was dry i put it back together and it worked again. But when I close the lid it goes into sleep and it wont turn on the screen when I open the lid.
            The computer is running and working but only on an external monitor. I have to reset the computer to have it work...

            AcuRite 5 in 1 temperature sensor replacement repair
            by CapLeaker
            Got a new victim:

            AcuRite 5 in 1 Iris outdoor weather station not updating the temperature / humidity anymore. The original sensor is a SHT21. Also there are identical other sensor manufacturers. I chose the HTU21D to replace the original SHT21. Both have identical specs. I've had two failure modes with these sensors.
            A: outside temp stuck at -40? It's cold here at times in Canada, but not that cold!
            B: stuck at some temperature and maybe updating once in 12 hrs or so.

            Easy solution is to go to AcuRite website and purchase the sensor. Right?...

            A2159 Touch Bar sensor is not working.
            by r1kku
            Hello, I have an MacBook Pro 2019 A2159 but the Touch Bar touchscreen is not working.
            I disassembled the laptop and I saw that L5100 is burned, I removed it and I connected that rail and it seems to be working. It's a problem if I leave it like this? Or I need to install a new inductor?

            Google Pixel 5 - Proximity Sensor Issues - Reflow/Replacement procedure tipps wanted
            by groomit
            Hi,
            I just replaced the battery on a Google Pixel 5.
            After that the proximity sensor isn't functioning properly any more. It is constantly activated. So when playing a voice message on Whatsapp, the Screen instantly turns off.
            Checking with a sensor app I can verify weird behavior of the sensor. It is triggered when nothing is near and sometimes works correctly when squeezing the phone next to the sensor hole.
            The rubber seal is on again (as mentioned in various suggestions in other forums).

            This smells like a cold or broken solder joint. So I'd like to reflow...

            Dell Latitude 5570 Ambient thermal sensor reading -127 Degrees C
            by Gcnewbie
            Forgive me this is my first request for help on this forum, so if i've screwed up or not followed the rules i should have i apologise profusely.

            I have a Dell Latitude 5570 that was randomly shutting down, on further investigation i found that the machine had been shutting down due to thermal events as noted by windows event viewer.
            My investigations lead me to the dell diagnostics screen, where i found that there were two sensors out of range which had been causing the shutdowns, one of which was the GPU thermal sensor and the other the ambient sensor.
            I opened the...
