    Seeking LCD Schematic for MacBook Pro M1 A2485 - Aiming to Repair, Not Replace

    Hello everyone,

    I'm currently working on a MacBook Pro A2485 and have encountered an issue with the LCD. Instead of opting for a full replacement, I'm interested in performing an in-depth repair on the LCD itself. I'm hoping to find the schematic for the LCD in order to understand its architecture and troubleshoot more effectively.

    If anyone has access to the schematic or can point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. My goal is to repair the components and connections within the display, rather than going for a costly replacement. I've been in the notebook repair business for 20 years, but MacBook LCDs are new territory for me, and I'm eager to learn.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance!​

    M1 MacBook Pro 2021 A2485 - No backlight display
    by rcanpolat
    Hi all,

    I recently got my hands on an M1 MacBook Pro (2021, A2485) that I suspect suffered some liquid damage. I have a hot air station and the basic tools to work on the board, but I’m new to SMD repair and would love some guidance before diving in.

    Here’s what I’ve observed so far:
    • When I power it on, I hear the MacBook chime and, with a flashlight, I can see the Apple logo on the screen. However, it never completes the boot and eventually powers off. My plan is to try to get the display fully working first, then tackle the boot issue.
    • I did some basic resistor

    Requesting help identifying chip in Macbook Pro A2485
    by Loki_Fido
    Hi ya folks,

    I have this MacBook Pro A2485 (M1 Pro 2021) which came in for repair.

    It had a shorted SSD power supply chip. Therefore it was stuck at 5V.
    I replaced it and the SSD are fine. No more shorts.

    But The mac still pulls 5V and 200mA. If i leave it alone for 5 mins, the mac manages to receive 20V and 40mA. Of course, which doesnt mean the mac starts after power meter reading 20V.

    But while the mac is stuck at 5V, i checked the board with thermal and found this chip was trying to start. Chip picture is attached.

    Macbook Pro A2485 820-02100 SSD
    by PITERPENY
    Hello. SSD UN0000/0100/0200/0300 were shorted in the MacBook. There are 4 SSD chips on the board. I don’t have the same board and I removed two SSD UN0000/0100 chips from the MacBook on the M1 A2338. I installed only these two, but the machine does not recover and gives error 28. I have a question: is it necessary to have all 4 or should it work with two chips? Is this important for the M1 Max processor?...

    Macbook Pro 16" A2485, 820-02100, battery service recommended, fan full speed, doens't charge
    by awe126
    Hello all,

    I bought a Macbook Pro 16" M1 Pro, A2485, 820-02100, which working flawlessly but not charging. I thought battery needs to be replaced but then started reading and it seems that problem will be in motherboard.
    Battery sign has cross sign and MacOS can't read battery stats. Fans are full speed but can be set down via Fancontrol software.
    I did start digging into in and found out below:

    Diode mode:
    SMBUS_BATT_SCL: 0.529
    SMBUS_BATT_SDA: 0

    SMBUS_BATT_SCL: 1.795V
    SMBUS_BATT_SDA: 0.948V

    Can anyone help...
