Apple never releases schematics and I doubt anyone would consider it worth the time to map one out and publish it. So I don't think you will have a lot of luck. But good luck. It would be great if you could find one. There are usually block diagrams in the PDF docs on specific models for developers. If you go to Apple's web page and choose site map and go to the developer area, then it gets hazy, but there's a listing of support documents for hardware. Those usually have block diagrams in them. With the block diagram and a ohmmeter you can usually map out what's connected to what. But it's tedious work and often requires a magnifier to see on which pin you actually have the ohmmeter probe.
