Hello,
I want to fix a 2016 12 Inch Macbook which has a dead Logic Board.
USB-C and Battery section seems to work, trackpad clicks, but all cpu Voltages, (VCORE, CPUSA) are 0V, CPU stays cold.
PPBUS_G3H, 3.3V and 5V Rails seem normal. PM_SLP_S3_L is present but CPU_VR_READY is not.
Thanks for your help! -
