@krutonium Meanwhile in China they just build 48GB #RTX4090 on camera like #LouisRossmann swapping #ISL9240|s....

@BasicAppleGuy The #SmartBatteryCase is the only reliable source of #ISL9240 charging ICs to fix #MacBooks!

@quincy und damit meine ich nicht nur #CRU's & #FRU's wie bei #Lenovo #ThinkPad, #Fairphone und @frameworkcomputer sondern im Zweifelsfalle alle Bauteile...

Proprietärer Mist alla #ISL9240 z.B. muss frei verkäuflich sein egal für wen.

@fuchsiii @faizalr I suspect the power managment system to have issues.

Basically what goes between the external 20VDC-in, VBAT and VDCpower internal (I assume 12V/5V/3,3V rails)...

Pretty shure there's something like a #ISL9239 / #ISL9240 or TI-made PMUX that goes from those two power rails - or at worst there's just one and the VBAT & Power Rail gets spliced out of one voltage downconverter...

At this point I'd consider looking up https://laptopblue.vn or other sites for #schematics and #BoardViews like #LouisRossmann does...

@ptoothfish all fixes are valid, even if those are #Ghettohacking...

*points at #LouisRossmann harvesting #ISL9240's from an #Apple Battery Bank in order to fix MacBookPro's... *

...purposefully enshuring parts can't be obtained like the notorious #ISL9240

@clmerle Basically, it's at best on-par with what @Fairphone already offered from day 1.

It doesn't ban manufacturers from aritrarily restricting access to parts (i.e. #ISL9240)...
