The customer said he kept it a long time, but suddenly one day doesn't work ... No water shades ,,,,
I can see the fan is running,
tried to revive but no USB activity was detected. Not booting , Not going to recovery mode....
Here are some voltages after detaching the board
CHGR_LX1...
The connector was bad , tried to change the connector . It was a very temperature sensitive part , I have spoiled more PCB pads... Apparently I have stopped working on this particular logic board and replaced it with another one....
Now I have a different problem..
Board brightness is keep...
The fan was making a noise, Replaced with an old one, I think the replaced fan had an internal short, I immediately removed the bad FAN, Replaced it with a new one... Now the keyboard is not working anymore... Rest all fine...

Indeed, It's from aliexpress, Confirmed its bad display, I suspect that they have not coated/masked the flexgate cable solder points (Which is not the case in the original display).
I have replaced the Display assembly with a new one and now the client complains that the "CAMERA NOT AVAILABLE " error when he opens the Facetime, What could be wrong?
I have tried to upgrade the os from preloaded bigsur to Montero while upgrading it's stopped
" Installation can not proceed because the installer is damaged"
What does it mean ?
Tried LAN, but That doesn't help. For the time being, I have used a pre-loaded internal SSD But a bit afraid that customer will face the same problem when they get the upgrade option.
Unfortunately the restore option is failing when I try from an external SSD.
Please find the error details attached in the link.
Also tried to install macos X (using Ctrl+R) I got the same error again.
