Ciao ragazzi mi capita questo macbook A2289 scheda madre 820-01987 che non accendeva, ho sostituito due componenti in corto U8110 e U7710, adesso il Macbook funziona ma non ha backlight, con monitor esterno funziona regolamente.

Ho sostituito anche il driver U8400 due volte senza successo, sostituito Q8400 senza successo.

EDP_BKLT_EN è presente fino a quando non appare il logo dopo scende a zero.

PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT_F non risulta in corto.

Hello!

Measure the voltage to ground on pin 2 of ferrite bead L8420 in both cases - when the signal "EDP_BKLT_EN" is at high (before the logo appears) and low level.

PIN 5: 5 VOLT.
PIN 9: 12.6 VOLT.
PIN 10: 12.6 VOLT.
PIN 11: 12.4 VOLT.
PIN 15 E 16: 3.3 VOLT.
PIN 17: 3.3 VOLT. POI SCENDE A ZERO APPENA APPARE IL LOGO APPLE.
PIN 18: 5 VOLT.
PIN 21: 0 VOLT.

aggiungo anche che ho provato a collegare un monitor di un'altro modello di macbook 15" A1707 e il logo si vede bene illuminato, PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT_F sale fino a 50 volt, poi appena entra in scrivania la retroilluminazione si abbassa al minimo.

The backlight of your original screen is very likely damaged. Replace the screen.
