Boardviewer><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/span><\/p>\n\n- Segundo paso.<\/strong> <\/span> Check the 6 basic working conditions for the EC chip<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
01. EC Standby VBAT and VDDA, the measured voltage on the inductor L5001 is 3.3V, OK!<\/span><\/p>\n![\"A1707](\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/L5001.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/span><\/p>\n 02. The second standby voltage for EC, PP3V0_S5_AVREF_SMC. It’s provided by the Pin 8 of U5165 (TS3330), the measured voltage value on C5020 is 3V, also OK. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"U6165\"](\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/U5165.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/C5020.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/span><\/p>\n 03. EC XOSC0 standby clock signal, it’s outputted by the PCH U1100 SUSCL pin. The signal name is PM_CLK32K_SUSCLK_R, after getting through R5112 then change the name to <\/span><\/span>SMC_CLK32K. Check the waveform on the R5112 is a standard sine waveform, which is also OK.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"R5112\"](\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/R12.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n
04. First we should know how the EC RST signal is generated, it’s outputted by the pin H4 of U7000 (ISL9339) → R7090 → SMC_RESET_L → R8592 → BUF_SMC_RESET_L → U5000. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"BUF_SMC_RESET_L\"](\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BUF_SMC_RESET_L.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n
05. Measuring and inspection process: we can measure the voltage on C5270. Pin #1 of C5270 is 0 volt, which is abnormal.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"C5270\"](\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/C5270-2.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n
![\"](\"https:\/\/rewa.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/A1707_Cannot_Boot.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then move forward to U7000, measure the voltage again on pin #1 of R7090 is also 0 volt<\/span>.<\/p>\nDisconnect the DC power cable and measure the diode value on R7090 is only about 30, which is abnormal.<\/p>\n
Remove the R7090 and measure the diode values again, pin 2 is normal, but the diode value on pin 1 which is close to U7000 is still very small. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\n- Step 3.<\/strong><\/span> <\/span> Replace the U7000 with a new one, then assemble the Macbook and measure the EC reset voltage back to 3.3V, which is normal. The MacBook can be booted normally, and all the functions work well.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
