    Macbook A2337 - Not entering DFU

    Hello ,
    Namaste.

    I had a Macbook come in for right. speaker not working. I tried changing audio flex / the audio board - didnt work.
    I went on to replace UR930/40 - still the same.

    So i decided to pack it and return in.
    Now suddenly after 2 days it is not booting into the OS. i get the Apple Logo and the exclamation restore sign.

    I tried entering DFu via keyboard - but no luck.
    I tried the jumper method but still the same.

    SOC_DFU_STATUS is 1.22V ( Goes high)

    My host mac is fine as i have done DFU revive today as well.

    i dont know what the issue is here. Would request some assistance.

    MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
    by rounin
    Hi everyone,

    I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

    🛠 Original Issue
    The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
    Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

    I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

    MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) - 5V, won't turn on - please help me understand why
    by mkdj
    Hello everyone,

    About me, my goal and the equipment I (don't) have:
    I am brand new to this forum, and I am eager to learn about repairing laptops. I have an engineer background although I haven't done electronics for a while. I have watched several Youtube videos in the last two months, trying to understand how to diagnose a faulty motherboard. I have a USB-C Amp meter and a classic multi meter. No DC Power Supply to inject voltage, no soldering iron to replace components.

    About my issue and my goal:
    A friend of mine has a MacBook Air M1 A2337 that does not...

    by Adogabriel100

    Apple Macbook Air M1 A2337 Trackpad problem
    by Skrndelj
    Hello all,

    I am repairing a Macbook A2337 and i have a problem
    The Macbook is stuck in restore as someone before me tried a DFU restore and bricked the device, now i can't do a restore as AC2 throws error 1 which is related to the trackpad.
    When i turn on the device i get the trackpad click for a few moments and then nothing, i tried 7 trackpads and 7 trackpad flats, i know all 7 are functioning okay, especially one as i use it for testing and DFU restore.
    I inspected the whole board and everything seems fine.
    Can anyone help me as i didn't fiddle with trackpad...

    Macbook Air A2337 dead at 5V/0,00A
    by Patrick501
    Hey,
    I'm working on a MacBook Air M1. I'm pretty sure the U8100 is not working correctly. But I never had to change it before, so I wanna ask anyone of you guys to confirm (or not confirm) my thoughts on it.

    USB Tester: 5V / 0,00A
    PPBUS_AON: 12,3 V
    PP5v_S2: 0 V no short
    PP3v3_S2_UPC: 0 V no short
    PP1v25_S2: 0 V no short
    PPDCIN_AON_CHGR_R: 5 V
    no enable signals for the S2 rails by the U8100


    both CR3217 (UF400, UF500), are supplied by 5V (Fuses FF200 and FF201)
    PP3v3_UPC0_LDO: 0 V, 0,5V diode mode to gnd
    PP1v5_UPC0_LDO_CORE:...
