== Symptoms ==
Question mark folder, no external boot possible & Recovery does not work on A1990 MacBook
* MacBook displaying 20V on USB-C ammeter
[[File:Placeholder image.jpg|thumb|Example image (Figure 1) -- No image yet. Help expand this page by uploading it!]]
* Current draw registering 0.00-0.01A
==Symptoms==


*Question mark folder
== Solution ==
*No external boot possible
=== Diagnostic Steps ===
*Recovery does not work
==== Check PMU (U7800) Input ====


==Solution==
* Verify if PMU U7800 (Figure 1) is missing 12V input (PMU_VDD_HI) caused by R8050 (Figure 2) being blown or corroded.
- Check U9080, U9580, U9000 & U9500 and SSD power rails PP2V5_NAND_SSD0, PP2V5_NAND_SSD1, PP0V9_SSD0, PP0V9_SSD1, PP1V8_SSD0, PP1V8_SSD1
* Check resistance on R8050; normal value should be around '''877kΩ'''.
* Note: R8050 is part of a voltage divider circuit, so voltage will be lower on pin 2 of the resistor.


- Flash T2, Update Intel Mac T2 BridgeOS Firmware, Boot Mac into DFU Mode Then Reinstall MacOS Via Recovery CMD R
=== Repair Steps ===
 
==== Blown R8050 with Short to Ground ====
 
* If R8050 is blown and there's a short to ground on pin 2, replace both U7800 and R8050.
 
==== Blown R8050 without Short to Ground ====
 
* If R8050 is blown but no short to ground is found, replace R8050.

Symptoms

  • MacBook displaying 20V on USB-C ammeter
  • Current draw registering 0.00-0.01A

Solution

Diagnostic Steps

Check PMU (U7800) Input

  • Verify if PMU U7800 (Figure 1) is missing 12V input (PMU_VDD_HI) caused by R8050 (Figure 2) being blown or corroded.
  • Check resistance on R8050; normal value should be around 877kΩ.
  • Note: R8050 is part of a voltage divider circuit, so voltage will be lower on pin 2 of the resistor.

Repair Steps

Blown R8050 with Short to Ground

  • If R8050 is blown and there's a short to ground on pin 2, replace both U7800 and R8050.

Blown R8050 without Short to Ground

  • If R8050 is blown but no short to ground is found, replace R8050.
