  • Re: 2009 MPB pro no lights on mag safe

    I'm adding 2 more pictures.

    Following the traces from my hypothetical fuse
    there is really nothing on the other side of the board
    but a series of vias that do not have traces on
    the visible back side. pic F_1

    The other picture of the VM97 chip, is a
    L8543SQ WLED backlight chip. I'm not sure if
    this is just for the backlight or if
    it's also for the display.

    Anyway....

    That's not a hole, it doesn't go down.
    It looks like a reference dot. But it's
    hard to tell with only a magnifying glass.

    I'm going to look for a microscope so
    I can clearly see if there are any bridged pins
    or rusted off pins, or whatever.

    I just don't know what's what yet.

    I have identified the fuse for the LCD
    display, it's a much smaller package than
    the white things, and it has a dot. I haven't found
    anything with an L or PL.

    Thanks for your response. I will take some better pictures,
    after I do some cleaning. (next week)

    I have a schematic, but I cannot tell where anything
    is on the circuit board.

    I think the first step is to get lights on my magsafe
    working, indicating power is getting through. Does
    all this start with the charger IC ?

    Does this charger IC send the sense line to
    the DC IN board?

    I can't sleep, so I took a picture. I cleaned
    up the IC discussed....

    So, these are the two objects that I believe to be the power fuses.
    I checked each one with my ohm meter, and they both have
    continuity.

    I guess I would first like to know why my magsafe lights
    do not come on, either the green or the orange. It looks like
    it's not getting any power. So any landmarks to check
    would be very helpful.

    I have already checked the DC IN board to be OK.

    Looks like there's not much interest in this,
    thanks for any hints. I probably wouldn't...

    I'm not sure what a micc is,
    but my picture is of a capacitor.

    I found the fuses and they both have
    continuity.

    I'm not sure what to check next.

    Thanks.

  • Re: 2009 MPB pro no lights on mag safe

    Okay, I think I've found the schematic.
    Looks like 6A - 24v --- now I still have no
    idea how to find this, like say on digi-key,
    I need some type of part number. I'm
    not to familiar with what this package is
    or what I need in a surface mount component.

    I'm referring to schem1 attachment below.
    Thanks.

    BTW, I was using my meter to check other things
    that I was guessing were fuses. Can an ohm meter,
    on ohm meter setting, blow these fuses?...

    2009 macbook pro 15"

    Could someone tell me if this is the power fuse?
    I've put my ohm meter across this and there is
    no continuity. Should there be? If this is a fuse
    does anyone know what part number I would use
    to replace it?

    Picture is attached below. Thanks.

    story:
    water damaged, won't boot, completely dead,
    no green or orange light on magsafe charger

    I'm looking for some help finding the first thing
    to check, supposedly there are surface mount fuses
    somewhere on the...

  • Re: MacBook Pro 13" 2010 no power!

    Is the fuse the white box on the left?

    I'm troubleshooting a MBP 15 with no magsafe lights,
    orange or green. The logic brd, magsafe board is checked OK,
    the charger is checked OK. And I've checked the continuity of
    a similar little white box on my logic board and it checks
    continuity OK.

    I can post a picture for reference.

    It's a water damaged MBP 15 2009

    first post trying to get posting priveleges.

    Thanks
