    MacBook Pro 2019 A2159 Replacing SSD does it need programming?

    Hi. I suspect the SSD has failed on this machine. I couldn't find answers googling it hence my question. Can you just take and replace SSD from another mac 2019 or it need to be programmed with serial numbers etc? Also eg. if my macbook is 128GB and using only one slot/bank for the SSD and another slot/bank is not being used (empty), can you remove the SSD from slot 1 and put it into slot 2, would it work? I know for a fact that those SSD are set in RAID partitions so if arranged in wrong order it's not going to work, but I'm curious if it needs programming also if the SSD can be soldered onto unused slot 2 leaving the slot 1 empty. Thanks

    My understanding is the T2 is "married" to the SSD. Unknown what data exactly is relayed between the two but have heard it is all encrypted. Haven't heard of a successful SSD swap as yet, if you do have success let us know.

      SSD ICs can be replaced from same model donor board (with similar storage configuration) or reconfigured with JC P13, then T2 DFU restore is needed. Of course data cannot be saved.

          MacBook Pro 2019 A2159 (2-port) wont boot

          Trackpad clicks.

          Plugging in a genuine USB-C charger and any other charger = 20V and charges all the way.

          Plugging in a Dell USB-C dock or monitor causes the voltage to cycle endlessly between 5V and 19V

          The Caps Lock button doesn't illuminate.

          Holding the power button (fingerprint scanner) for 10 seconds stops the trackpad clicking temporarily, but it starts clicking again after 3 seconds.

          If I open the lid slightly, the trackpad stops clicking (it seems to be detecting the lid opening/closing).

          The keyboard backlight...

          Macbook Pro A1706 820-00923 no power after replacing top cover and keyboard
          by johnbeton
          Hello,

          I have a A1706 with 820-00923-A board. The laptop came in with non-working keyboard. I bought a new top-cover with keyboard and transfered everything to the new topcover.
          Since then the macbook will not charge or power-up. Before replacing top cover, I started the macbook to test, and it worked fine apart from keyboard. Then shut it down and did replacement.
          This is what I measure so far:


          Resistance from F7000 to ground is 123 Ohm on pin 1 and 2

          PPBUS_G3H = 0,79v
          PPBUS_HS_CPU = 0,79v
          PPBUS_HS_OTH5V = 0,79v
          PPBUS_HS_OTH3V3...
