    A1707 Macbook fan at full speed

    Hello guys, I have this Macbook Pro with touchbar and it's acting up.

    First it came as completely dead - I found out it was one of thunderbolt controlers. I removed it, laptop came back to life, but one fan was loud. I didn't have replacement IC, so I thought it was in panic mode or something.
    Then new IC arrived - I replaced it, but it still is in full blast mode.
    It gets to full speed right after pressing the power button.

    I tried reseting the SMC and PRAM - no change.
    I installed Fan control app - all temperatures are OK, right side fan works fine, but left one is stuck at highest RPMs. When I try to set it any lower, it does not react at all.


    Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks

      Swap the fans to see if the good right fan runs in hyper speed on the other side (left).

      Check the pinout of the fan cable in the schematic before proceeding.

          Macbook a1707 2017 model 820-00928 GPU issue
          by sofles
          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.

          Apple MacBook A1707 No Audio/Sound
          by tommy97
          Hi,

          I'm having an issue with an A1707 MacBook Pro—there's no audio output. Initially, the MacBook came in with a no-power problem, and I found a faulty U6400, which I've now replaced. The laptop now powers on, but there's still no sound.

          I've also replaced U6300, but the problem persists.

          Here are the current voltage readings:
          • PPV18_S0: 1.8V
          • R6402: 1V
          • R6405: 1V
          • R6403: 1V
          • AUD_SPKRAMP_RESET_L: 1.3V
          • PPBUS: 12.6V

          MacBook Pro A1707 Motherboard Diagnostic Help – CD3215 heating and Fluctuating Rails
          by Cemal Odabasioglu
          Hello everyone,

          I'm currently diagnosing a MacBook Pro A1707 motherboard that does not power on. I've gathered some data but am stuck and need expert advice.
          Note that i'm a beginner in electronics and i'm trying to learn while trying to repair this macbook that my work gave me. I'm really curious and love understanding how thing works and i already learned so much.

          Only one usb c port is taking 20v and have 12.5v on PPBUS_G3H. when trying other ports, 2 are not going to 20v and one is going to 20v but the CD3215 is getting really hot.

          Observations...
