Re: Macbook Pro A1708 blown cap...
Aah thanks for the info, didn't realise it was that important, I thought we were just checking if the fuse had blown haha. Yes it's an old analog meter as I couldn't put my hands on my digital one, but will make sure I get it tomorrow.
Thanks again for your help, its really appreciated!

Re: Macbook Pro A1708 blown cap...
Looks like 12 volts either side. I will check again with a better multimeter tomorrow. Is there anything else I can look at in meantime?Leave a comment:

Thanks for the reply!
1) The fan doesn't spin, keyboard doesn't light up or anything - its totally dead.
2) No caps lock, totally dead.
3) 820-00840-A I don't have any schematics for it though.
4) The PSU definitely works OK.Leave a comment:

Macbook Pro A1708 blown cap...
Hi guys!
Got a Macbook Pro A1708, I had it open as I was replacing the display, I foolishly didn't disconnect the battery (I know), next thing the trademark smell of a blown cap. Grim.
I think one of the cables for the new display has touched something briefly on the main board and shorted something.
I disconnected the battery as quick as I could, but something has blown. Can't see any damage to any of the chips on either side of the main board.
Where do I start with this? All I have is a multimeter.
Any help appreciated! -
Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hello there!! I started reading the start of this post, right back from 2003. Mad to think that this site is nearly 20 years old. I feel so old thinking about it haha. I'm here to get a few tips about repairing logic boards. I'm a computer repair guy and normally just swap them out, but the amount of wastage is really horrible, so I'm hoping to cut waaaay down. Thanks guys
