2R2 chip heating up when keyboard connected
Hi,
I have a Late 2016 Macbook Pro 15-inch A1707 EMC 3072, i7 2.7GHz that had water spilled on the keyboard. The user turned it off but turned it back on the next day thinking it completely dried up. The computer died shortly after turning on.
When I diagnosed it, I did not find any signs of electrical damages or corrosion, but I noticed a chip located near the bottom right corner of the logic board labeled 2R2 heats up significantly when plugged in to power (external or battery).
I thought the logic board was fried, so I replaced it with a similar model. Testing the new (used) board, the same thing happens. I noticed the same chip heats up only with the keyboard is plugged in to the board, which makes me think the keyboard might be faulty.
What is that chip? Is it the keyboard chip? Is it heating up a sign of a bad keyboard, a bad logic board or both? I have attached pics of one of the boards + the 2R2 chip. I don't have the logic boards diagram and don't know how to read it, but part # is 820-00281-A.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

The 2R2 component is an inductor and part of the power logic. In it’s self it is not the failure it’s the other elements of the logic involved.
As there are a few 2R2 inductors we would need to know which one to narrow things down a bit. Take a picture and mark the one in question, post it here so we can see it.
Did you have a liquid spill or other event that could have started things off? Where did it spill into?

@rabih44654 since you have already replaced the original water damaged logic board, this issue does appear to originate from a peripheral device. When we see which inductor is heating up we can most likely identify the faulty circuit and hopefully that will help you to get it fixed. The keyboard is definitely a possibility. 在已经存在的问题里加入图片

@danj thanks for your reply, Dan. Yes, like I mentioned in my OP, the user spilled water on the keyboard. This was my first post here and I thought I added pics to it. There should be pics now. Let me know if you need more. Thanks!

@oldturkey03 thanks for your reply and for the link, oldturkey. Didn't know I had to click on the image at the end to add it. I hope the pics are clear. Disconnecting the keyboard means disconnecting the fans too, but I'm positive the computer turns on (with the keyboard disconnected) because the CPU/GPU warms up a bit.
