Introduction
If you use a power adapter which is to weak for your Mac Book (e.g. 60W for a MBP 15" which is speci ed for a 80W power adapter) the
following should happen from a theoretical point of view: The power adapter is overloaded and heats up until the internal thermal protection
switches it off savely. -- And this happened in real live: The adapter blew up in a way, that it delivered one last powerful current pulse which
also destroyed parts of the logic board. The Mac Book is still fully operational with battery, but can not be charged nor powered any more,
even with a new power adapter.
The disassembling steps are referenced to MacBook Pro 15" Unibody Mid 2010 Logic Board Replacement. For this particular guide it is not
necessary to unmount the fans, heatpipes and speaker-microphone-block. Just skip the related steps.
Since the topology of the circuit between power connector and battery is common technique, this guide might t to other logic boards too.

Step 2
 Using both hands, lift the lower case near the vent
to pop it off two clips securing it to the upper case.
 Remove the lower case and set it aside.

Step 3 Logic Board
 Remove the three T6 Torx screws securing the right

fan to the upper case.

Step 4
 Use the at end of a spudger to pry the right fan

connector up out of its socket on the logic board.
 It is useful to twist the spudger axially from

beneath the fan cable wires to release the
connector.
 Remove the right fan from the upper case.

Step 5
 Use the at end of a spudger to pry the AirPort /

Bluetooth ribbon cable up off its socket on the logic
board.
 Fold the AirPort / Bluetooth ribbon cable back to

keep it out of the way of the logic board.

to lift its connector out of its socket on the logic
board.

cable connector up out of its socket on the logic
board.

Step 12
 Use your ngernail to carefully ip up the keyboard

ribbon cable retaining ap.
 Make sure you are ipping up the retaining ap, not

the socket itself.
 Use the tip of a spudger to pull the keyboard ribbon

cable straight out of its socket.

indicator cable connector up out of its socket on
the logic board.

Step 14
 Grab the plastic pull tab secured to the display data

cable lock and rotate it toward the DC-In side of the
computer.
 Pull the display data cable straight out of its socket.
 Do not pull the cable upward, as the socket is very

fragile. Pull the cable parallel to the face of the logic
board toward the corner of the upper case.

Step 15
 Use the tip of a spudger or your ngernail to ip up

the retaining ap on the keyboard backlight ribbon
cable socket.
 Be sure you are prying up on the retaining ap, not

the socket itself.
 Pull the keyboard ribbon cable straight out of its

socket.

Step 16
 Remove the following screws:
 Seven 3.3 mm T6 Torx screws securing the logic

board to the upper case.
 Two 8 mm T6 Torx screws securing the DC-In

board to the upper case.
 Do not remove the logic board yet! There are

components on the underside of the logic board
attached to the the upper case that must rst be
disconnected.
 Add a comment
Step 17
 Carefully lift the logic board assembly from the left

side and work it out of the upper case, minding the
port side that may get caught during removal.
 Do not entirely remove the logic board yet!

Step 18
 Lift the logic board enough to gain clearance and

use a spudger to pry the microphone up off the
upper case.
 2 comments
Step 19
 Slide the logic board away from the port openings

and lift the assembly out of the upper case.
 Before reinstalling the logic board, it is easiest to

press the microphone down into its housing in the
left speaker to keep it in place.
 To avoid ESD damage, be sure to lay your logic

board on a soft, static free surface during service.

Step 20 The schematic
 The picture shows a schematic which is similar to

Mac Book Pro's power input circuit. The series
components L1, F1, T1, T2 have to draw the full
power, so those are of interest for us. With an
ohmmeter you can check these parts.
 L1: Since I could not gure out the manufacturer of

this common mode choke I recommend to use a
new MagSafe PCB.
 F1: According to the printing on this part it is very

likely that this is a Littelfuse 0469006 6A fuse.
 T1, T2: Both MOSFETs are HAT1128R type. Since

this part is obsolete I took IRF9317PbF
 Add a comment
Step 21 Where are the parts?
 The picture shows where the relevant parts are

placed on the logic board. F1, T1 and T2 are marked
green. L1 is mounted on the MagSafe PCB and so
not seen on the picture.
 After you have gured out which of these parts (L1,

F1, T2, T2) are defective you can change them. I
recommend to replace both MOSFETs if there is at
least one damaged.
 After replacing the defective parts you can check

the functionality by connecting the battery and the
power adapter to the logic board. If everything is
ne the LED of the MagSafe connector will light up
green and switch to orange if battery will be
charged. Be very careful.

 I don't know if any 80w MagSafe. It should be 85w for 15" and 60w for 13"...
mamashannon4u - 08/21/2017
 Is there any chance you would be able to show the location of these parts if the same thing happened on a 2012 MacBook Pro Retina? I've
been trying to nd the information for a couple days now. Thank you
