Chosen Solution
Hi everyone, I was trying to fix a MacBook Pro 13” Mid-2014 Retina. While using a spudger to push the display cable back in I slipped - and seemingly knocked off a couple of tiny capacitors. I also scratched one of the other elements close by. I checked with a picture from ifixit and as far as I can see, there are two elements missing:
Now I don’t know which parts they are to order and replace, or what they actually do. Can anyone help me out? The current issues of this MacBook Pro (even though they might not be the direct result of the damage I did as described above): MBP will start, but I can’t see anything on the displayWhen I connect a secondary monitor via HDMI, I can after some time see a grey background and move the mouse. From how I can move the mouse, it seems to extend the internal display (I can move the pointer into a non-visible space)PRAM-Reset cannot be done with internal keyboard (even though I just replaced it…) I would appreciate help concerning: fixing the capacitor-damagehints on fixing the (other?) problems Thank you for any help!
Make sure the solder leftovers of the 2 missing capacitors are not bridging ground and circuits creating a short. The picture isn’t very clear thus it doesn’t show whats the actual condition. If there’s no bridging, we just talk about C8354 on backlight dimming circuit and C8302 on PP5VR3V3_SW_LCD, none of the 2 is critical and should not be responsible for your other issues. If you have troubles on HDMI too, either you have a HDMI circuit issue to add to the list or worse a problem at graphical circuitry. On top of that, you report troubles in resetting PRAM after changing keyboard that adds a chance you have problems with SMC or related too. It seems you have a bit of a messy board there (liquid damage?) that requires a number of component level troubleshooting and repairs, not something you can fix by replacing parts. Either you find and replace the logic board with a good one or you’ll need someone with deeper skills to get that Mac fixed.
