Hi guys.

i have this a1466 820-3437 with a wifi issue. there was some liquid damage that i've fixed because it couldn't read the SSD. I managed to install it with the wifi working at the moment but now it stopped. I've replaced u3550 and all voltages are going through it normally. When in OS trying to switch on the wifi it tries but not switching on. Any advice please?

Many thanks

"all voltages are going through it normally"
Depends what you consider normal; always better to post values.

Sorry, I was thinking about U3540; post its voltages.

BTW (for the future), use schematic when you reffer to component pins, not boardview.

Why did you replace it?
All voltages are good.

Try another airport card, clean the connector.
Check PCIE_AP data/clock traces and components.
