Macbook A2338 / A2337 - Replace SSD
There are a lot of Video Tutorials how the SSD of A2338 or A2337 can be upgraded. Normally they say you can order the bigger SSD chips (0 and 1) from China. But as far as I understand you can take the SSD chips of one A2337/A2338 and install on another, put to DFU mode, do the recovery, reinstall etc... I tried that several times (tried to upgrade 256GB to 512Gb, then to 1TB, then to another 256Gb)... nothing worked. So my question to the community is: can I just take the SSD chips from one A2338 and intall them on another A2338 (taking care of course of the 0 and 1 positions)? Or I have always to buy the bigger SSD chips from China?

Hi everyone, first post here – long-time reader though. I have a dead MacBook Air M1 (2020) that won't charge or power on.
Device info:
MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
Model j313ap (A2337, logic board 820-02016)
Symptom:
No charging, no power on at all.
Restore attempts:
Apple Configurator finds the MacBook in DFU mode, as Linux with lsusb: Bus 001 Device 021: ID 05ac:1227 Apple, Inc. Mobile Device (DFU Mode).
It looks like the MacBookAir is in firmware boot loop. I have tried to restore 14.x version and 26.2 (latest) version firmware,... -
Hi gang, I was hoping someone could help me. Im working on a A2338 Macbook, with torn off standoff posts for the connectors shield. The laptop works, but gets no trackpad/keyboard/haptic functions.
It looks like it just sits on a ground plane. The PPBUS_AON Pins are recieving 12v, pp3v3 present. I dont see any traces going to these pads or near vicinity.
Any ideas what I can check? Any help would be appreciated.... -

Dear BADCAPS Forum,
I am happy to have found this place and would love to get some input on my issues with a MacBook Air M1 (A2337).
A couple of days ago, I was using the MacBook on a low battery, and while running VS Code it shut down due to low battery. I rarely let it reach the point where it turns itself off, and if it does, I usually charge it immediately. This time, however, I left it uncharged until the next evening, and when I plugged it in, nothing happened. I waited until the following day, and still nothing.
I followed all the recommended troubleshooting... -
Hey, I have a macbook air M1 A2337 i replaced the display on using an AM display from MobileSentrix for a customer they returned because the camera wasn't working i tried another display from mobile sentrix still no camera, updated the software still nothing, i just took a display off our store macbook and no display still calibrated it using self repair and still no camera, so I have come to the conclusion its a board issue, any else ever encounter this, or any ideas on where to look on the board for shorts or anything.
