[SOLVED]MBA 820 3024 battery not recognized

[SoroS]

Hi,
I have a 3024 board wich was LD, it starts but the battery is not recognized.
I think is the SMC but don't have a donor board or new smc for this (have in stock only MBP 2936 SMC's)
there are other smc which are compatible with this board.

I've hoped this would not be a SMC problem so I've looked around for other clues, replaced the U7000 and checked the R5281 and R5280 but all seems to be ok.

Any thoughts on this one.

Thanks

Replace SMC from donor board, no other ways around it. You can get away with swapping 11 and 13 SMCs from the same model year MBAs.

It works with a SMC from a 820 3023 MBA

This was also a test for me to see how hard is to reball and change a SMC. 2-3 hours to do it but finally works next one gonna be faster.

Thanks Duke. Solved
