Hello all,

I haven't tried to unlock a 2015 model yet and figured I should go for it. Since the new clip is still underfunded (fund it people!), how do you suggest I interface with the chip? Based on an earlier A1502 (from 2013), the supposed pin out is attached (see below).





Should I find a matching test clip (what size?) OR should I solder small wires to the positions indicated in this photo (to the test points or to the chip pins?)?

Thanks!

I think the best way is to simply remove the chip unless you have a clip. It is tedious and intrusive, but in the long run necessary.

I found a clip and can probably hot wire it to make it work.

Installing matching serial numbers are worth it for people who water-damaged their original logic boards.

Yea I think it is a good idea too, as long as you do not destroy the bard in the process.

With all the 13in rMBP i have found it easiest to just remove the chip from the board and solder wires to it to program it. The Early 2015 has a slightly smaller EFI chip but the pinout is the exact same as all other EFI chips.
