Hi all!
First time poster looking for some help. Help!
I knocked a diode off my motherboard while trying to remove the CPU heatsink clips. Oops. Now I have a couple of questions I need to figure out to get things working again. See my avatar for a photo with more detail (I couldn't figure out how to attach a photo to this post).
1) I found the missing diode's location, but I'm not sure about the correct orientation. I noticed a square bracket-like marking with a gap one one side of the dislocated diode (labelled D7924 and outlined in red) and its intact twin (labelled D7974 and outlined in green). I'm assuming this square bracket-like marking is a hint at which way to orient the diode. Would this be a correct assumption?
2) Also, now the diode is missing, so can anyone tell me what spec I should be looking for to replace it? It looks like it says 15 or S1. Also, this is on the side of the motherboard with very little clearance, so it's a surface mounted piece a couple millimetres in height, in case that helps in advising on the correct specs for a replacement.
The motherboard is part 820-1900-A by Apple. I tried looking for a schematic online, but no such luck. I'm hoping the missing diode's label (D7924) can provide helpful hints in restoring functionality.
Thanks!
