    The J6700 connector also contains the signals of interest.
    I will check J6700 let you know.

      Run a wire - jumper wire. Not any conductive wire. Proper jumper wire.

        Was about to suggest the same but believe the cap is 0201 - nasty boards and with high density. It will be tricky to do.

          A jumper wire from C6712 To ?

            To your meter (red probe) for measuring the voltage.

              Hi thanks for guiding, updating that when the problem occurs again.
              One more thing very quickly is that the trackpad isnt vibrating anymore, installed a new one to cross check - same issue. Visual inspection of cable and connector seems okay to me.

                Try a PRAM reset.

                    Hi, Didnt find any problem till now after doing the jumper wire. I think the problem is resolved for now but the trackpad isn't giving haptic feedback.

                      Check your software settings to confirm the haptic feedback is enabled.

                        Checked the Pads of J6700 related to PPBUS_G3H_TPAD_FLT in resistance mode in Pads 41,39,37,42 and 40. The result is 0 ohms. I think this particular line is giving trouble. The cap C6700 seems ok.

                        Will check L6700 and updating.

                          Very interesting.

                          Check fuse @ F6700. Is it still conducting ?

                          What is the voltage on pin # 1 of this fuse ?

                          If required, remove F6700 and check if pin #1 is able to offer the required voltage.

                            you want the voltage with everything connected? its on the flip side hence will have to run a jumper wire.

                              Do check if this short condition disappears if you remove the trackpad cable.

                              This voltage leg is connected to PPBUS_G3H which is a key power rail to the entire logic board so it must be working if the unit is powering up ok.

                              Remove the fuse. Remove all power and check the resistance to ground of this fuse F6700, pin # 1.

                              What is the reading ?

                                No Value in F6700 Pin 2 and Pin 1 450 ohms when checked in Resistance Mode.

                                Have not removed the Fuse yet. Just checking it.

                                  Ok. Where is the short?

                                  Check both sides of the coil.

                                    Resistance Value in Pin #2 in 0 ohms.

                                    Replacing the Fuse. Updating in a bit.

                                      Have replaced the fuse, getting proper value also in the pads but the trackpad isnt giving haptic feedback.

                                        Can you share the meter setting?

                                        If you short your meter probes, do you see the same resistance readings?

                                          It's a digital meter, set to Diode Mode.
                                          Touching Red and Black together gives the buzzer sound as usual.

                                            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.

                                            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,
                                            ...

                                            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...
