    If the battery depletes quickly, etc. then the pack is weak and should be replaced.
    It does not deplete that quick. It's normal. How to solve the No Image Issue?

      Hello Mon2 and Piernovv, the problem still persists randomly.
      I have an observation here ! Closing the LID and re opening it will always ensure that an Image Appears. It may be for a 10 seconds or a couple of days but it appears. If there was an issue with the LID sensor then Music/Youtube will stop working but that doesn't happen. Laptop works with No Image.

      When we close the LID the music stops. So the LID Sensor is working fine i believe.

        Monitor the multiple power rails on the lcd connector when the display is working and when it is not.

        The LCD works on other boards or you have tested others on this one?

          Do not have any other board to check.
          Disconnected the Audio Board and it works well since the sensor is in the audio board. Now the display doesnot go blank and runs perfectly for hours. Do you think that the tiny board can be the issue?

            See numerous tantalum capacitors on the audio board. Check their resistance to ground.

              Getting .670 mostly.

              The hall sensor seems to be in the Speaker connected to the Audio Board. Disconnected that and kept it under observation.

                What is the meter scale used for this resistance check ?

                    Can you clarify the scale for this reading ?

                    0.67 ohms ?
                    670 ohms ?
                    670k ohms ?

                        Ok. So 0.562 is 562 ohms, etc. Ppbus_g3h is a good voltage.

                          Finally i have pulled out the speaker near the audio board and using it. The hall sensor is totally disabled.

                          Had sent it to Apple for a Diagnostics - their report suggest that the main board is at fault needs to be changed

                                See attached. Press the referenced button on your meter till you are in the RESISTANCE scale. The omega / horse (ghoda) shoe symbol will be shown in the bottom right of the display.

                                Then post a picture again to confirm it.

                                  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.

                                  ⚠️ New Problem: One USB-C Port Only Works in One Orientation...

                                  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,
                                  ...

                                  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...
