Hello,

I got an a2442 with some liquid damages. After some replacements it boots fine, but won't charge. The magsafe light is orange but no charge, and none of the usb c will charge it.
I tried dfu restore successfully but it still won't charge.
Where should I start ?

Thanks for helping,

Thanks for your response. I don't have another battery to try. But the board won't boot without battery. The battery discharge function well. The board should boot without battery with magsafe and usb c but it doesn't.

" But the board won't boot without battery."
You didn't mention that in first post.
I was thinking machine was already tested with charger alone.

So battery is recognized and macOS correctly shows its percentage?
Post exact PPBUS_AON and 3V8_AON voltages with charger alone (without battery).

Check voltage on pads 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 of J5101.

Sorry for that.
Yes battery is recognized and shows correct percentage.
With magsafe only :
PPBUS_AON 11.98v
3V8_AON 3.78v
J5101 :
3 1.23V
5 0V
7 0V
9 0V
11 0V

R5101/02 no soldered.
UPC_I2C_INT_L 0V.
USBC2_AUXLSX_N broken pad under ug400, is that a problem for the board to boot without battery ?

Not sure what this bus is used for.
You should to rebuild broken trace.
M1 requires high level on UPC_I2C_INT_L line.
