    A2681 - M2 MBA, not charging

    20.5v .004a. Machine powers up and logs into macOS, but battery not charging and very low. Also, I get no lights on the Chipmunk tester. Placed in DFU for revive, but did not solve the problem. Thoughts? **UPDATE** That's weird.. now it is 5.19v .442a

    Can I replace a lid angle sensor on A2779 without replacing the display panel?

    I've got an A2779 here with minor liquid damage, but the lid angle sensor is in awful condition and I'd like to replace it. Mobile Sentrix sells one but I'm wondering if I can replace it by itself, or of I would have to replace the panel as well, because they are paired?

    A2141 20v 0a - device is alive, but won't charge

    This is A2141, board 820-01700-A. Device shows battery icon(indicating critical low battery) but USBc is taking 20V 0A. I have a dead short to ground on PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_REG(measured at C7502:1), but injecting 1v is not pulling any current. Next steps?

    A1502 - no power, 19.5v drawing about 1.3-1.6a, current draw very slow falls

    I've tried disconnecting the battery but no luck there. This machine will start out drawing about 1.3a, then slowly, start dropping at about 1ma/second. SSD memory controller gets hot, but CPU does not feel warm, no fans. I connected the Chipmunk tester and I have two solid red lights, but no...

    A1707 no power - 20v, cycling draw .010ma-369ma

    Connecting power, I am getting 20v, but the current draw is cycling. Visual inspection of top of logic board looks good. I checked for PPBUS_G3H @ C8008/1 and it pulses as well, 13v - 0v - 13v Here's a video. And a video of the Chipmunk tester.

    820-00165 need advice on this repair(jumper needed)

    This customer attempted a battery replacement themselves. They damaged J4800 so I needed to replace it. Once I got it soldered to the board, I noticed the pads from PIN 8 and 12 were loose from the board. I'm looking at the boardview and I don't really see a good way to jump these two pins...

    A2251 - 820-01949 - liquid damage, powers on, only external display, solid apple logo

    This device came in as a liquid damage machine. There was very little corrosion on the board and all of it cleaned up very well. It appears to power up properly, drawing about 2.3A. If I let it sit long enough I get a couple of faint vertical lines on the screen but no picture. With LCD...

    820-00165 - no power

    No lights on charger. .369v @ L7095. Injected voltage at L7095 but all which heats up is L7095. Where to go from here? **UPDATE** Never mind. There's a ton of liquid damage on the underside of the board.

    A2941 no backlight, board 821-04012

    I actually can't even see the board number anywhere on this device. I looked it up on ebay to get the number which is apparently 821-04012. It's A2941 SN:LKXCDX6D7P Anyhow, the customer says they spilled liquid and now the screen doesn't work. External video is working, lcd panel is on...

    A1502 - intermittent no backlight, should these pins have continuity?

    This is a 820-4924A A1502 model. The backlight is intermittent. Worked for an hour, then went out. I was checking the board for damage and I found heavy corrosion at Q7700 P1/2/3. I removed that component and cleaned the pads. I've got continuity between pins 2 and 3 and from the schematic...

    White line on screen - is this a board problem?

    A2141. When I power this up, I get the power chime, but then all I'm seeing is this single horizontal white line across the bottom area of the screen as pictured. I have connected this to an external display but I am not getting any output there. Does this seem like a board issue or screen...
