Hi All,
I have a problem with a Macbook Air from 2017 (820-00165-A), after 10 seconds the fan spin starts to rise and reaches maximum speed relatively quick. I have checked the usual culprits like U5800 and U5620 camera connector. I don't see any water damage anywhere, but this laptop has been attempted to be repaired before. (a screw was missing).
I also tried a reflow of the SMC without success.
Trackpad also looks fine.
My main question at this point is I notice that gl3219 (U4500) gets quite hot relatively quickly after start-up going over 40 degrees celsius even reaching 50 degrees.
Is this normal? Usb ports work fine and I don't see a relation with SMBUS_SMC_1_S0_SDA, so I am in doubt if it even matters.
TG Pro tells me there is a potential problem with the optical drive sensor, which I don't understand.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
TIA
