Re: WT7515 chip buy?
AC/Bel 661-3350
iMac G5 20"
First left green LED comes on Logic board but when you push the power button nothing happens. I have 20v and 5v on the connector.
We traced the voltages on the WT7515 which has the 5v sense in but no 5V out -
Re: WT7515 chip buy?
What is the API number on the board? e.g., API 3PC96
Do you have the datasheet for the chip?
The chip is a OC/OV/UV supervisor.
What repairs, if any, have you done to the supply?
Check Q1 (1P) transistor on the HOT side near the TOPSwitch device. Look for a discolored band running down the middle of the chip.

This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.
There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as... -

Hello! Has anyone encountered problems on the Imac 2020 27 inches with a T2 chip? I had to replace 2 T2 chips on two iMacs, the first one was successfully replaced, tested and given to the client. The second iMac after replacing the T2 is flashed, the system is installed through the target mod, it boots into the system, you can hear me tapping on the keyboard, but the image does not display (and to an external monitor​). I reballed the T2 chip, changed the processor, RAM, display. No positive result! My friend said that he had 2 such devices and on both of them, after replacing the T2 boards,... -
Long story short:
- dad converted Asus Chromebox CN62 into Windows compatible, with mrchromebox BIOS, years and years ago
- gave the computer to his son a couple years later
- son now decided to revert it to Chrome OS, to sell it as original (re-writing BIOS with the backup one created by his dad)
- too lazy to remove the board from the case, thought a voltage regulator was the BIOS chip (you know... it has 8 legs)
(seems like the story was not that short)
He used alligator clips to read the chip. No luck reading it. Removed chip and placed on a SOC-8... -
