"Music By Marcel Basima" Chapters: 00:00 - Initial check up 00:15 - Image but no backlight 01:00 - Dissasembling the mac 03:58 - Lcd was replaced previously 04:11 - Continuing dissasembly 04:44 - Testing mac with known good screen 05:40 - Measuring backlight voltage 06:54 - Checking resistance on bklt caps 07:24 - Taking out the motherboard 08:28 - Stripped screws 09:21 - Removing the motherboard 10:17 - Sometimes the standoff screw gets stuck 10:43 - Visual inspection under the microcope 11:08 - More measurements on bklt circuit 11:28 - Soldering the wires for voltage injection 14:25 - Shorted capacitor found 17:36 - I removed the wrong cap 19:26 - Thats the right one 21:52 - Cracked capacitor 22:02 - Replacing the capacitors 24:44 - It works! I received a mac that was described as "not turning on". After a quick inspection I discovered that the mac works, but the screen has no backlight. If it was 2016/2017 15 inch model - I would be suspecting a flexgate issue, but it almost never happens on this model. After opening the mac I noticed that there is no voltage on the backlight output line. When Macbook was powered down I measured the resistance on the backlight caps, it was very low - 100% a shorted backlight line. One of the most convinient ways of locating a short is voltage injection paired with a thermal camera. I usually start with 0.5-1V and 2-5 amps. Then I slowly increase the voltage and see if something is getting hot. I thought I found the shorted cap, but it was actually on the other side of the motherboard. The capacitor was cracked on the bottom, this is absolutely impossible to see unless its desoldered. Macbook Pro A1990 15 tommer 2019 ingen bakgrunnsbelysning, slår seg ikke på, hovedkortreparasjon. Jeg mottok en mac som ble beskrevet som "slår ikke på". Etter en rask inspeksjon oppdaget jeg at macen fungerer, men skjermen har ikke bakgrunnsbelysning. Hvis det var 2016/2017 15-tommers modell - jeg ville mistenkt et flexgate-problem, men det skjer nesten aldri på denne modellen. Etter å ha åpnet macen la jeg merke til at det ikke er spenning på bakgrunnsbelysningens utgangslinje. Da Macbook ble slått av målte jeg motstanden på bakgrunnsbelysningshettene, den var veldig lav - 100 % en kortsluttet bakgrunnsbelysningslinje. En av de mest praktiske måtene å finne en kortslutning på er spenningsinjeksjon sammen med et termisk kamera. Jeg starter vanligvis med 0,5-1V og 2-5 ampere. Så øker jeg sakte spenningen og ser om noe blir varmt. Jeg trodde jeg fant den kortsluttede hetten, men den var faktisk på den andre siden av hovedkortet. Kondensatoren var sprukket på bunnen, dette er absolutt umulig å se med mindre den er avloddet.
