but how did they access volumes ? That's the MBA with dead CPU.

I'll investigate. For this MBA, customer said he sent it to big DR Lab and they were asking him for a password... He gave his password but they said it wasn't not the right one however he knows his password... so I wonder what tool they used and what password they were looking for. He finally...

So this is a service Apple propose in Apple store in New York or you need to send it somewhere ?

Thanks, bad news. I don't really care about the device but need data recovery ? MBA goes to DFU, anything we can try ? Can we not replace CPU ?

So the result is dead CPU ? nothing we ca do ?

Thank you for your patience, sorry.... You mean those 4 R33 ? I guess not those... as I've mentionned Voltage and resistance in previous pics. If not, I am not sure which one, can you show me on pics, I wrote 0 Ohm, they have 0,4 Ohms to be exact.

Sorry, I missed the post. I was looking at othersite of the board. I've replied. Sorry.

Thank you. Almost, 3 on 4 are GND and no voltage.

Thank you. So on the other side, I found two shorts, I think those in red are filters, right ? They have 0 V and are short to GND. So I should remove and replace those or check anything else before ? I can't find what component make the "clic, clic" noise, it's really hard. The noise start...

thanks. Big coils have voltage, in red on the pics. I haven't find short yet. This "clic, clic" sound should come from a filter ? So board is 820-01958-A

Hello. I got a MacBook Pro and I did "Revive" from DFU. Process was ok. After that, I still have a black screen but I can hear a strange noise when powering the MBA. It's a fast "clic-clic-clic" this is exactly the noise customer reported after sudden death. I would like to attached the...

Thank you Admin, happy to be on this forum. I'll take the board out and see if I can identify the model. I've tried DFU, no luck, doesn't get detected in AC2. I am pressing power + right shift + left CTRL & Option for 10 secs then release those three keys and keep power pressed. Is there any...

Hello, I got my first dead MBA 2020 A2179 and I don't have schematics. MacBook looks perfect, no water, no drop, nothing bad on motherboard. Customer said he was working and then sudden death. Now, when pressing power button, nothing on the screen, no fans.. but the little LED near CPU on Fan...
