Title
Applying Low Voltage After Every Repair (Retina MacBook 2015 Only)
Introduction
The first-generation 12" Retina MacBook has a design quirk that requires connection to low-voltage power after a repair. '''If this step is skipped, permanent logic board damage may result.''' This procedure is not required for 2016 and later models.
Connecting the Retina MacBook to low-voltage power requires a 5W iPhone A/C adapter and a USB-A to USB-C cable, neither of which is included in the box.
