    Macbook A2338 Amp Meter Reboots

    Hello,
    Namaste.

    I have a Macbook A2338 that came in for turning on issue. It turned on once when i had it but then again went off. The amp meter but bootloop. The board was clean - no dust - no green .

    I performed a DFU Revive. Got the error 4042. Assumed BAD SSD. But it turned on , worked well for 1 day and again went off.

    Anything can be done ?The customer needs data

              keep pressing D when power on, or try also option D.

                  Macbook Pro M1 A2338 13"

                  Hi all,

                  I’m new to the forum and could use a bit of help. My name is Tom and I have a problem 😅

                  I bought a MacBook Pro M1 and also got a second one for spare parts. The seller told me it had a small water spill. After opening it, I found four spots with corrosion on the board.

                  One of those spots has damaged components — I’m not sure if they’re capacitors or other SMD parts. I’ve already cleaned the whole board with isopropanol, which made the other areas look fine. But could those damaged caps be the reason why the MacBook won’t power on?...

                  Greetings to the entire forum, I ask you for help because I'm going crazy. A dear friend of mine gave me a macbook pro M1 A2338 that only works with an external screen. With the internal one, no backlight or image. Only the external display is detected from the system settings.
                  First I changed the display flat, then I made a backup with time machine and tried a reset in dfu but nothing to do, always the same problem.
                  I analyzed the logic board, it shows no sign of liquid or visible damage. I then moved on to examine the logic with the thermal camera and found that the UP701 chip was...

                  MacBook Pro A2338 [820-02773] No Audio (Speakers and Microphone)
                  by classicandy
                  Hi Everyone,

                  Please, I have a MacBook Pro A2338 M2, board number : 820-02773. The speakers and the microphone of the Mac are not working and I need assistance in fixing.

                  UR730 got damaged and short-circuited the motherboard. After removing the shortened IC; before and after putting the new one I ordered, the speakers [specifically the other one not affected by this IC] and the microphone are still not working. I do have sound through a Bluetooth speaker device or when I connect a headphone with microphone to the jack 3.5mm input. Also, media files do not play unless ​a...

                  A2338 820-02020 Stuck at 5V, meter resets
                  by ferrc95
                  The board arrived very clean, with no traces of moisture or corrosion.

                  Initially, a part of one of the CD3217B12s was heating up, so I purchased a new CD3217B12, which wasn't specified in the purchase announcement as being compatible with the A2338. The short circuit disappeared, but it was still stuck at 5V. So I decided to buy another CD3217B12 specific to my model, but after replacing it, it remained the same.

                  PPBUS_AON is 12.3V. Before the reset, it drops to 12V, remains there for a few seconds, and then drops until it restarts.

                  The USB power meter shows...
