PSU/logic board pinout voltages

Hello, just purchased a late 2009 iMac A1311 EMC 2308 as project, it's not the first iMac I repair for hobby, but it's my first 2009 model.

This iMac don't turn on, no fans, no HD, but the first diagnostic LED in the logic board is on, so I suspect can be the PSU or the logic board the culprint, but I want to be sure, because if I change the PSU and the faulty one is the logic board or viceversa, the fix will cost more than the actual value of a working iMac of same model beause I have to change some parts like LCD cables.

I fixed on the cheap before some faulty iMac PSUs changing the capacitors, but no swollen tops on this one, so **MAYBE** is the logic board the defective one.

I followed this guides, with no success

Wont turn on. Bad PSU?

How to Troubleshoot Logic Board

PSU Issues Testing Troubleshooting..

As far I done the folowing:

  • Reset the SMC
  • Checked the button battery on logic board
  • Checked the voltages on PSU
  • Checked the voltages on logic board

I got some weird values, so I want to know if someone know the correct voltages for the PSU and logic board power pins. I have this values on a spreadshet, hope someone can help me to figure out whats wrong with these values.

@oldturkey03 thanks for your answer, I already had measured ther logic board test points, and that is what had me confused, if you look at the values I obtained, no all where what you read on the manuals, but now that I saw again the image you uploaded, realized that I was measuring the pins in the wrong order. Measuring again in the right pins, the voltages are more coherent, I can be sure about the logic board is faulty

@satoslp I’d start of by measuring on the logic board test points.

Pin 4 will have to have 12 Volt if your power supply is good. If it does not then you most likely have a bad PSU

Locate diagnostic LEDs in bottom case vents. Plug AC cord into system. Verify if diagnostic LED #1 turns ON. You may alternately check for presence of a 12V DC signal between pin 4 and pin 1 of logic board.

Yes

Standby power voltage being supplied by power supply.

No

Replace power supply.

@satoslp looks like your PSU is supplying the right voltage. Yes, looks more like a logic board issue. "I saw again the image you uploaded, realized that I was measuring the pins in the wrong order." that is why I like to see and post images. that way we can all be assured we look at the same issue. Best of luck to you and let us know how it worked out.

@oldturkey03 I'm gonna buy the logic board, thanks for the answer to my question, now I,m considenring to change the C2D logic board for a i3 board, will be possible?

I purchased the i3 logic board and it worked in the formerly 2009 iMac C2D, so the big risk in buying a "new" logic board worth it, even payed the beat on buying it for a more recent i3 that can be upgraded to i5 later

Hi, By any chance I can get the above write up on each pin a little bigger, I am unable to read. I have a iMac A1418 totally dead, ONLY first led is switching on, when I depress the power switch, this first LED also blinks, so guessing the power switch is doing its JOB. I can measure one 12V on power supply output pin, NO other voltage. I am stuck between debuging the PS or suspecting logic board, where some feedback the PS is waiting for to switch on the remaining power lines. Want to know what are the various voltages I must see EVEN IF logic board is BAD. Want to decide if its PS or else where.

Sorry, I clicked on the diagram and it opened up nice and large. So now I am stuck with LED 1 on, 12 V coming, does this mean PS is fine and I should ONLY focus on logic board ? Some place I read, it said change the battery, is that logical ?

Hi guys,

if have also a 2009 iMac A1311 EMC 2308. Its not powering up.

  • diagnose led 1 is on
  • 12V on pin 4 is present
  • after pressing power button, 12V is present on pin 11 but diagnose led 2 stays off!
  • power on request signal (pin 12) has 0V after pressing the button, arround 4V before pressing it

In the manual it says its probably the PSU. But I thought the power on request signal comes from the logic board?!

Does anybody has an idea?

Thx in advance!

Greetings from germany, Ruben
