    Macoook Pro A1278 3 Beeps, Missing 1.5v rail voltage please help 820-3115-B..

    hi guys, this macbook it was working fine til i replaced the keyboard, after i put it back together it started beeping 3 times, and no video, it goes on endlessly.

    Schematic and boardview attached.

    C7332 is getting 12.5v, but nothing coming out of Q7330.. please help.

    3 beep means memory ram. remove and put one ram module at once.

          removed mosfet: pins 1-4 0volts, pin 5 has 12.5 V

          I've been tracing rails that produce 1.5v and notice that R2801 Has 3.3 on 1 side and 0 volts on the other side, it has the correct value which is 100k.
          .

                check if pin 4 and 5 of q7335 is shorted, if yes replace q7335

                if pin 4-5 no shorted replace u7300

                edit: voltage on l7330 without any ram module ?

                  Q7335 not shorted.
                  Measurement of u7300 where without ram.

                      ok thanks friend i'll try to find another one of these bad boys.
                      is this chip responsible for creating 1.5v?

                      is it safe to make a jumper from pin 8 on u7300 to q7335?

                        wait: pin 4 of q7330 (after removed) has 0 volt, but pin 14 has 1.5 volt.... check c7325

                        if u can try this first before replacing u7300.

                        no dont do that jumper wire.

                        u7300 got enable signal from pin 16, but power good is not ok.

                        this chip create 1.5 volt for ram memory.

                        ps: pin 4 of q7330 has 0 volt after u removed it ?

                          C7325 is ok, not shorted.

                          Q7330 has 12.5v on pin 5, Pins 1-4 has 0v, whether is on or off the board.

                          I noticed resistor 2801 has 3.3v on 1 side and 0v on the other side, which is supposed to be 1.5v..Does this has anything to do with the memory not being recognized?

                            circuit about r2801 also generate ddrvtt_en that is present on pin 17 of q7330

                            edit: volt on R2810 both side.

                            is pch getting extremely hot ? if yes could also be a bad nb chip.

                              Nothing is getting overheated. R2810 has 3.3 on 1 side and 0.0v on the other side.
