    MacBook Air power on problem

    The laptop is dead. Has 3 and 5 V, but that is as much as i can do. I can't recognize the keyboard controller, and i don't have the schematic.
    It is a dead end for me.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Motherboard model is 820-2179-C, notebook model is A1237.

    I have three motherboards, none works, i would be happy if i can manage to power up at least one of them.

    i have schematic and board view files but can send them 2 days later(i'm out of the city), if you have a known good keyboard, try connecting it. power switch is on the keyboard and most of the cant power issues wit this model is about keyb.
    good luck

        OK.
        Tnx!

        We will wait for your bord view.

        I have a known good keyboard, so i ruled that out. It must be the board it self.

                                    General question about MacBook power rails for repair.
                                    by SarcasticOP
                                    I am looking at an A2337 and found this for the order of power rails and what they do. Can this be confirmed before I dive into hunting down power rails that do not exist or are not neccisary?
                                    • PPBUS_G3H (12.6V-12.8V)
                                      • This is the main power rail that supplies power to the entire system. Check this rail first, as it must be present for other power rails to work.
                                    • PP3V42_G3H (3.42V)
                                      • This power rail is derived from PPBUS_G3H and is used to power the SMC (System Management Controller) and other essential circuits. It should be present if PPBUS_G3H is working correctly.
                                    • PPVRTC_G3H (3.3V)

                                    Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs
                                    by theone111
                                    I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.

                                    In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.
                                    1. Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
                                      Frequency: Happened about once a week.
                                      Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again.
                                    2. Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
                                      Frequency: Happened about once a week.
                                      Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve.
                                    3. Problem: TV shuts down

                                    When I reflash again the bios of hoaca388 the unit powers on and the unit lives!!! Hooray!! All voltage in the coil 3.3v, 5v and 6.7v indicate charging are all present. including the cpu voltage , EEPROM and GPU voltage the unit is now alive, normal screen booting to windows and log in screen until I power it off. Then the unit never goes on even when pressing the power button in the keyboard.. Voltage reading 19v main , 3.3v VCC in IT8225E-128 and EEPROM VCC 0 volt and the charging voltage 0 volt.

                                    Try to trace the power switch button goin to the power switch IC PU8803 (APL3533AQBI-TRG)...

                                    Hello, trying to fix C9 55 inch. I have pulled the back and all looks completely normal with nothing burnt so far. This is first time attempting to fix a tv so any help is appreciated.

                                    Problem. I hit power button, red light on TV turns off and tries to turn on, no picture shows up and then shuts off. This occurred after house power turned on and off, not from a storm.

                                    I have tested the power going from power supply to main board, all 12v and 20 volt readings are proper when I hit power button.

                                    The power supply to t con is different story.
