Re: imac 2017 820-00609-A mising damaged components ??



Sorry I don't understand your reply?? Have you missed something?...

I have picked up a Imac A1419 2017 with a fault of getting stuck on the apple loading screen. Will not boot to macos, bootcamp or recovery. it will allow the drive selection option but nothing else.
I have examined the board and noticed some damaged components next to the ethernet port. Can any one identify them and could they affect the boot issue?
I cant find a schematic or brd for this model.

the first picture is for reference and for the location on the board.
the second shows the damaged component, it appears to have a cover and a copper coil underneath....

Re: Dead HD6950 how to troubleshoot?

Hi Rich,

Here are some photos of the card.

Thanks for any help...

Hi have a HD6950 that mysteriously stopped working one day. Fans spin when turning on pc but it prevents pc from booting even with an intergrated graphics on the cpu. What steps can I take to troubleshoot the fault? I have basic electronics skills but always want to know more.
Any help even how small is appreciated.

I have a faulty Xbox 1708 controller that had bad corrosion on this ic, I can not find any reference to it on mouser. Can anybody shed some light on to it? Picture attached.
TIA...

Hi Im James and i am a new to this forum. Well i have actually used it for about 2 years now when searching for things and 9 out of 10 times i have found what ive needed, so thought it was about time to put something back in.
I have always been interested in computers and tech/gadgets, and for several years helped friends out with mobile screen changes, but about 2 years ago i saw a video on youtube of Louis Rossman doing things i didnt know was even possible to a pcb, and my mind was blown. I wanted to do that as well,...
