Re: A1286 No backlight

Hello! (I am new to forums so I hope I'm not doing anything wrong writting on someone else's post!)

I also have this board, no GPU reballed just the original thing. Fuse is 12.53V on each side and I have 3.3V on BKLT_RST but 0V on BKLT_EN. So I guess I have to change IC U9600 but where can I see if there is power going to it first? I don't want to unsolder that kind of thing for the first time and find out later that it was not the problem xD

Thanks for your help!

Hello everyone!

total canadian newbie alert xD

I'm a musician and I just repair things in general for fun and a unsoldered USB port got my attention one day and since then I repair some easy stuff for my friend's broken devices and it works so I just want to go further like with this old Macbook pro 2012 17" no backlight. Found the forum looking for the board view.

What a great job with this forum happy to find it. See you!
