Chosen Solution
Hi everyone. Many thanks to this website for providing the solution to my mid 2010 15” MacBook Pro kernel issues. Here’s my dilemma. I have a 2008 17” MacBook Pro I’m trying to use to salvage the C7771/9560 capacitor to put in my 15”. The board is listed as 820-2262-A, serial W8812002422 YA. Cannot identify the capacitor I need and it’s not printed on the board. Does anyone have any idea what it’s listed as on the board? I’ve searched high and low and can’t find the board number or serial anywhere on the internet. It’s almost like it’s a one off for the CIA or something. Update (07/30/2021) Hope the images appear. Really don’t know which component is the proper capacitor I’m looking for.
OK we’ve got gas! Your short hand created confusion! The cap in question is C9560 per the video. And indeed is one of the possable causes for kernel panics. Here’s the schematic of the circuit. I should point out this is not an easy job and if you over heat the board you could cause issues.
Now lets review the needed part. The Poly-Tantalum Apple used was not stable as such we don’t replace it with another as it won’t last or be stable! We instead use a Aluminum Polymer 330uf capacitor Finding one that will fit is not easy! I would just order it from Louis Rossman. Even still there is a bit of alteration to the logic board as you’ll need to scrape off som of the coating to expose enough of the ground surface.
