Unsuccessful EFIDL with macbook early 2016 model was created by bestfood
Hi all, i got EFIDL arrived today and i tried with new macbook 2016 model. I can see connection port is exactly the same with easy flash V4.0.3 it really could fit with no problem but i have no luck for it.
I tried all possible power state such as no power, with battery, with cord, with battery+cord and disconnect also do the same without VCC but what i have seen from EFIDL is Green light(fast), Blue and then all light off never see slow green.
I put adapter upward from motherboard so should i try another direction?
Please check the attachment.
Thank you

Try booting Mac to EFI lock screen and removing vcc pin from efidL.
Also try at iCloud lock screen, with lid closed.

Can you upload a photo of how you are attaching the clip to the header?
EDIT: I didn't see you photoshopped the clip into the ifixit picture.
If "up" on that image is toward the hinge, I believe you should reverse the clip.

Yes I realized you had added the clip to that photo afterwards.
Is the "up" end of the board in the photo the hinge side?

I did exactly the same as photo above. So, is it right direction?

I do not have the a1534 logic board orientation committed to memory, nor do I have one right now to look at.
The adapter should extend toward the hinge of the LCD.

Please tell me if I get you wrong. Do you mean downward not upward that what you mean?

Well, I have seen that but it not relate to EFIDL or EFIDL adapter. I'm afraid that wiring method is more chance to make mistake.
Does anyone have success with EFIDL?
Btw, what the best temperature to soldering on the board?
Thanks

you may use the adapter clip instead of soldering to board.
are you soldering with iron? or doing reflow work?

i would power on mac to EFI lock screen, and connect efidL (without VCC). the adapter clip should be attached opposite of your picture.

ok, well it sounds like you've got the right adapter orientation.
i'm surprised that it's identifying a macronix chip. it sounds like you've got a com problem if it's not getting the correct chip id. the macronix and winbond chips are nearly identical though, like comparing a sparkfun bus pirate to a seeedstudio bus pirate...
exactly what does flashrom identify the chip as? also, can you force the chip with -c?
