So last week I got in an A1708 with 820-00840 board just for a straight battery swap, took the old battery out as usual no issues, connected new battery up powered on and I get the flashing folder with ? symbol. Replugged the SSD - same behaviour - unplugged battery and tried without battery - boots up normal SSD is detected.
Plugged the old battery back in and works normally, i've then ordered another battery from a different supplier which I received today popped that one in and again we have the flashing folder with a ? symbol.
Has Apple now done something to disable battery swaps is what i'm now wondering? Or I just happen to have two faulty batteries from different suppliers?
