Abstract:Logic boards were failing at Enhanced Mac Minus One (EMMO) test or Integrated Circuit Test (ICT) after printed circuit board (PCB) rework. The failure to boot was originally traced to a suspected bad microcontroller chip. Replacing this chip, or an oscillator tied to the microcontroller circuit, did not consistently solve the boot problem. With further testing, it was found the microcontroller circuit was very sensitive to resistance and was essentially shorted.A resistor in the microcontroller circuit was ide… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
