Hello,
Can someone give me the values of the resistors marked by the arrows?
Without the BRD it's complicated.
Thank you in advance.

Re: A2179 820-01958a

Good evening everyone,
I received an identical card, I was able to measure it:
1_2: 1Mohms (Maybe I2C)
3_4_5: 15ohms (SPI link)
I hope it will be of use to others.

A2179 PPBUS_G3H low

by Gueric

Hey mon2. I’ve got another crazy case for you that never happened to me before.

A2179 board, PPBUS_G3H short, 2 ohms.
injected voltage, 1V 5A limit, 200mA draw.
decided to increase to 2v, amperage draw instantly dropped to a few mA.

the resistance of the rail actually went from 2 ohm to 100 after that, and PPBUS went from 0mV to 700mV.

checked the resistance of the 4 current sensing resistors around the ISL, all fine. Removed the ISL, went from 100 to 160 ohm.

Replaced it, still 160 ohm.
Removed the 2 ISL mosfets. Still the...

MacBook Air A2179 - shorted trackpad, PPBUS_G3H stuck at 1,1v.

by Gueric

Hello people !

I received an A2179 with a destroyed trackpad connector (all PPBUS_G3H_TPAD_FLT pads were destroyed). PPBUS_G3H was shorted to ground. I removed the trackpad connector, cleaned the area thoroughly, removed some bits of burnt copper, and short was gone. But PPBUS was stuck at 1,1v, even tho PPDCIN_G3H measured 5.2v So I replaced the 2 ISL's MOSFETs (Q7030, Q7040) in case they got killed by the short. Nothing changed.

I then replaced the ISL, still nothing. measured all its pads, good. resistors around the chip are also good. resistance on PPBUS was good,...

A2179 Macbook Air turns ON and works normally with a battery but it is not charging

by CAPTGENE

I have similar a similar issue. My A2179 Macbook Air turns ON and works normally with a battery but it is not charging. With the USC-C alone it takes 20V but only 100mA, PPBUS is 12.3Volts, and wont turn ON.

I replaced U7000 twice with the same result. not charging!

Whats should I check or replace?

Macbook Air 2020 A2179 Internet Recovery and Battery Issues

by cheebster

Hello, i have a batch of 10 Macbook Pros A2179 bought from a Costco return wholesaler.

The 10 of them show the exact same behavior;

They auto power on, to internet recovery spinning globe, fans to 100%.

Power consumption on USB-C port is 0.43a, shuts down as soon as unplugged. Battery doesn't charge at all. However, it boots to 20V on the Ampmeter.

Based on their iBridge versions (4.x and 5.x) these were shelfed for a long time.

All of them power on the same way; 100% fans, shut down as soon as they are unplugged. Removing...
