    macbook A1708 - BMU replacement

    Hello,
    just a quick sanity check question before I blow myself up.

    Is it ok to transplant a working BMU from a dead A1708 battery to a working battery with a dead (not recognized) BMU? Assuming I will be very careful not to short anything out while doing it.

    I am just worried the BMU retains some battery specific data that will either kill the new battery or make it behave like an old one (the amount of charging cycles, etc.).

    Thanks

      In my opinion, this project reminds me of the lyrics of the George Thorogood song - Bad to the Bone..

      The head nurse spoke up
      Said, "Leave this one alone"
      Highly recommend to seek out another known good battery. Amazon ?

          Ok, got it. I had a bad feeling about wasting 3 good cells, but a house fire is probably not worth it.

              Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
              by reformatt
              Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

              It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

              by boosti45
              i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...

              MacBook Air A2681 battery problem after Screen Replacement
              by mferna14
              Hi, my dear friends., Maybe this might be a stupid question or something I missed or do not know. I have 2 MacBook Air A2681 (Indentical color & EMC #), both LCD screens broken. Before ordering the LCD Screens I confirmed both worked with their respective batteries & AC Adapters, & they did 100%. The LCD Screens came in today & I replaced LCD for the 1st A2681. (Removed Battery Terminal cable for both Laptops before installation of LCDs). Perfect Screen & Booted up fine. But it did not work with battery. I checked the battery connector & it was seated in well/perfectly....

              brought in a working MacBook for battery replacement (swelled up). After replacing the battery it stopped turning on. tried connecting the old battery without changes. consumption with the battery connected and without the battery is the same 5v\0.200a on all 4 ports. replacing 9239 did not help

              MacBook Pro A1708 820-00840 stuck @ 5V, no power, no charging
              by EpicFix
              Hey guys, I need a little help here. I have a MacBook Pro A1708 820-00840 stuck @ 5V. Started off affecting just one port but now it's affecting both. Both CD3215 ics were replaced but the issue remains. One port does a loop and the other stays at a constant 5V. Both CD3215 have 3V incoming. I checked for PP3V3_G3H @ R3000, C3100 and C3108, R3001, C3200 and C3208. The weird thing is though that the ammeter shows the current draw (5V @ 0.5A) coming out from the port as opposed to it going in. Any ideas on helping me fix this?
