Hi all, first post here looking for some troubleshooting assistance with my A1398 mid-2015 MBP.
820-00426-A
History:
Many drops but nothing before failure
Many failed kernel crashes but nothing before failure
No water damage
No indication of imminent failure
Magsafe (genuine apple 85W version) goes green then orange
The computer was asleep with the screen closed
I opened the screen but the screen stayed black and fans not spinning like it was asleep
the click pad was working but computer unresponsive to power button or clicks
SMC reset killed the "click" in the touchpad as expected
Computer still unresponsive to power button
Removed bottom cover and disconnected battery
Held the power button then connected magsafe charger (LED went green then orange) but computer stayed off
Re-connected battery and still no response from power button
Nothing visible on an external display connected via HDMI
All below taken with battery connected and magsafe connected and showing green LED
G3H:
PPBUS_G3H = 12.685v (R7005 to chassis)
PPDCIN_G3H = 16.721v (R7020 to chassis)
PP3V42_G3H = 3.4132v (L7095 to chassis)
S5:
PP5V_S5 = Cannot access the underside of PCB in situ
PP3V3_S5 = 3.3281v
S3:
PP5V_S3 = 0.0077v
PP3V3_S3 = 0.1573v (but going down as if it's discharging some load capacitance)
PP1V35_S3 = 0.0001v
S0:
PP5V_S0 = 0v
PP3V3_S0 = 0v
PP1V5_S0 = 0v
So plausible failure:
one of the S3 supplies like U8001 or associated components (can't access without removing logic board) - would be nice to check the enable signal
Any advice on common failures associated with this or corrections to my measurement technique (e.g. didn't press power button during any measurements etc) would be hugely appreciated
Obviously, I want to continue fault finding etc with the least disassembly possible.
Thanks in advance!
Oh and for the sake of completeness, charger consumption at wall:
Idle (not connected to laptop): 0.5W
Plugged into laptop (orange LED) with battery CONNECTED: 10.5W
Plugged into laptop (orange LED) with battery DISCONNECTED: 0.5W
Note, the above measurements are the same with user input like power button pressed, etc
