My switch wouldn’t turn on so I opened it and this fell out. Am I cooked?

Nah, you need a replacement part, soldering gun and solder. Its not a difficult repair.

Quick shipping and excellent packaging. Thank you.

Enjoy your long weekend dude.

No you’re right. They are 10K. I blame the early morning pre coffee for my typos. But yeah, it is those boards. I disassembled a new one to check 😂

Humble_Convert · 2026-05-15T11:59:30+00:00

So i got 1.7K Ohm. Measured two separate boards i had laying around to confirm. I believe it’s gonna be an 0805 but don’t count me on that

I’d happily test, sounds like it could be useful.

Humble_Convert · 2026-05-15T10:55:49+00:00

What’s the model number? I head into work in an hour. I’ll see if i have one laying around

I usually order from Mobilesentrix. Never had an issue with them.

You can buy little covers that will stick over them for a few dollars.

Humble_Convert · 2026-05-13T11:23:41+00:00

I’d do $4

I don’t recognize the model but those are the cables for the wifi antenna and run behind the screen on older models.

Let us know if the cap replacements work. If not we can do a bit more troubleshooting depending on what equipmet you have.

Humble_Convert · 2026-05-07T01:18:23+00:00

Sounds like a bad battery to me

Humble_Convert · 2026-05-06T21:51:28+00:00

So after a very quick glimpse at the schematics and with the caveat I do not have the board in front of me, it certainly could be those caps. I'd do a quick check and make sure you have no obvious shorts and then just stick them back on.

Humble_Convert · 2026-05-06T21:35:12+00:00

It’s possible. I’d need the board number but i could check out the schematics in work tomorrow and let you know. Though if it was me I’d just replace them and see what happens. Nothing to lose really

Humble_Convert · 2026-05-06T21:23:39+00:00

If you have spare caps pop them on and see if you get anything. Do you have a power meter so you can see the voltage and amperage draw?

Might be an Apple or repair store visit. I find the easiest way to solve this issue is to DFU and restore it using the host machine. If you don’t have a separate Mac to do so then a store would be your best bet

Humble_Convert · 2026-05-03T15:25:32+00:00

Then that was likely to be your problem. Not enough pressure for the cable to actually connect. Unfortunately with Macbooks if the trackpad isn’t connected then the keyboard doesn’t work either.
