Hi to everybody, I have a problem with my usb ports. I used an external usb dvd driver(with an external supply) but the mac crashed and after that isight and usb ports no longer have worked. I opened my mbp and i saw that a component near usb ports (TPS2064DGN) appears to be blown. Help me please.. i don't know what to do. Thank you in advance.
Got a tip for us?

If you see obvious damage, and you can identify the part - and you have a source for that component, then you can try replacing it.
I have tried that before, and another part was the real issue, and the replaced component blew out as soon as I powered on.
If you want this to be a hobby, then keep replacing the components until you find the one that fixes it. You WON'T find tech data specifically for the Apple logic board, so you'll need a lot of luck.
Easier, and much quicker, is to simply replace the logic board.

thank you for your support. i answered this in case of someone have had the same problem. unfortunately the logic board is too expansive for this macbook that is too old!
My problem is that I don't know what "uppp" means?
You've used it twice, so it must mean something to you.
(I never text, so some of the buzzy lingo is hazy to me
)
WTF does "uppp" mean???
If you have a visibly blown component then you'll need to take it for hardware repair, so Apple or an authorized repair shop, or even an unauthorized repair shop - but its unlikely to be fixable by a reset, setting or reloading the OS....but as the logic board is too expensive what other "help" are you expecting??
