    Macbook Air M1 820-02016 no screen (LCD_PWR_EN=0v)

    Haptic feedback on the trackpad works, and the app configurator on other MacBooks recognizes this MacBook.(not DFU status) That is, the power is turned on normally. However, nothing is output on the screen. no backlight, no image.

    Both screen and screen cables are fine.
    The result of the logic board check is as follows.
    PP1V8_S2 = 1.8v
    PP3V3_S2 = 3.3v
    PP5V_S2 = 5v
    PP3V8_AON_VDDMAIN = 3.8v​
    PP5V_SW_LCD = 0v
    PP3V3_SW_LCD = 0v
    PPVOUT_LCDBKLT = 0v
    LCD_PWR_EN = 0v
    PMU_SYS_ALIVE = 1.8v

    There is no short circuit in either of the above.
    Due to a defect in LCD_PWR_EN line, UP710 chip seems to be not working properly. I replaced the UP710 chip, but the symptoms are the same.

    I checked the circuit diagram and LCD_PWR_EN is the line output from the U8100 MAIN PMIC. I'm not sure if the PMIC has failed because all other power lines including VDDMAIN are normal and no short circuit has been found.

    In the worst case scenario, could the GPU of the M1 have failed? If so, it would be impossible to repair, but it's scary.

    How do you know the screen and cables are ok? Have you tried it on another MAC, or put in a known good screen? Have you checked with external monitor via USB-C to HDMI etc?

    How have you confirmed that the MAC has POST'ed?

      The speaker also doesn't output boot sound. So I noticed another issue.
      When I try to restore in apple configurator, error 21 is output. It wasn't booting properly in the first place. According to repair wiki, error 21 is ROM or NAND error,

      https://logi.wiki/index.php/DFU_Mode_Restore_(Macs)

      (21- Resolved with SoC ROM replacement. On macbooks with an M1 processor, this error also means problems with NAND chips such as:
      • Failure of one or two NANDs.
      • Mismatch between the NAND model and the reference designation on the board (When replacing memory chips, you no longer need to write anything to them using the programmer, just follow the model/place on the board).
      • Attempting to restore from recovery after replacing NANDs (After replacing NANDs, it is possible to restore only from DFU).)
      should I replace NAND first? All NAND power lines have normal voltage.

        Depends on the history of the laptop. I generally physically examine the board closely before doing anything, looking for any corrosion or component damage. I've seen shorted caps on sub-rails cause weird issues.

        You should troubleshoot with the power sequence first before diving in replacing anything.

          Macbook 2017 with touchbar (A1706) won't turn on after removing the screen
          by Ryan.man
          Hello everybody! Posting this in hopes somebody has some expertise that leads to a clear path of troubleshooting that saves me a lot of time!

          My macbook has the flex cable problem, the one that prevents the screen turning on. Ive been dealing with this for the last 3 years. Last year it went dead and I managed to fix it following youtube tutorials. But my fix wasnt the best, the problem returned a month later. This week, it went dead again. I again tried to fix it.

          This time the original cable broke too close to the screen, it can't be fixed without tearing the screen...

          MacBook Air M1 A2337 Screen Replacement - keeping TrueTone
          by MagJ_
          Hello Everybody,

          I have a cracked screen and want to fix it. Usually, TrueTone will be gone as long as one does not prune open the screen and exchange only the LCD. However, I have seen the following Youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBNqhp6p_ZM, Solve MacBook M1 Pro screen true tone issue from the channel Master Liu, where only two chips called "display control chip" and "code chip" are swapped over to the new screen. I know, it is for the MacBookPro version. Though, I had the hope that it could work similarly for the MacBook Air as well.

          Macbook Pro 16" A2141 screen artefacts, kernel panic
          by sofles
          Hi there.

          I have Macbook Pro 16" 2019, model number A2141, motherboard number 820-01700. I have some problem with dedicated graphic card. When Macbook switches to dedicated GPU it is getting instantly hot and starts to show glitches on screen, then it freezes (trackpad is not clicking anymore) and shuts down.
          I tried to reinstall MacOS But it was a pain, it started to show glitches in middle of installation and I could not finish it. I only was able to reinstall MacOS when I put Macbook outside (it is winter and -2 Celcius).

          Now situation looks like this, If...

          MacBook A1990 vertical stripes on external screen
          by ahoonid
          Hey everyone,

          I bought a MacBook A1990 with no screen. I bought it knowing the motherboard was defective but wasn't sure what the problem was until I received it. It actually turns on but as you see from the attachment, it has vertical stripes, on an external screen!!

          The board is neat. Not opened before for sure. Just a little dust, nothing more.

          Recovery using wifi can be opened, as can also be seen in the photo but it doesn't go all the way through after connecting it to a wifi. It downloads the initial Recovery files but never completes the rest of the...

          MacBook Pro 2011 turns on with keyboard light , screen dead
          by Rav_tangle
          Hi all , thanks for having me & I think this has been asked before but my case seems a bit odd.
          I have a MacBook Pro , board 820-2915a and it turns on , chimes etc etc , keyboard lights up, fans spins , can turn caps lock on/off but screen is dead.
          Iv tried the resets , shine torch through back logo , nothing , it seems the screen has no power. If I plug charger , it charges but if I disconnect battery it displays green light but won't turn on. Iv tried screen on with another board & it works & seems I'm not getting any voltage at pin 2 , next to ground pin .
          is this...
