Converting board for J61000
Converting board to DIP8
What's this?
This board is really helpful for EFI-ROM Access at J6100 connector of
Apple MacBook LogicBoard.
See below case :
-
MacBook doesn't boot because of EFI-ROM.
-
Need to replace serial # after replacing LogicBoard.
-
Forgot your password after locked.
-
Diagnose EFI-ROM and SPI communication.
Must need this?
The answer is NO.
Actually, you can access EFI-ROM without converting board.
However, you'll more comfortable and easy to access if you have this.
See below case :
-
Don't need to remove EFI-ROM every working.
-
Don't need to solder jumper-wire on LogicBoard.
-
Don't need to disassemble LogicBoard.
*Some models require disassembly.

* LED and resistor are not included.
* NOTE *
If some SPI programmer doesn't work, you need to supply 3.3V to 'PP3V3_SUS' of the Logic Board.
That can't be solved by the limitation of the J6100 pin map. That is not a defect of the converting board.
As mentioned that, you must supply 3.3V to the 'PP3V3_SUS' of the Logic Board using a DC power supply.
