    MacBook A1706 Touch ID

    They brought the MacBook after another service and the touch ID doesn’t work, and it’s not surprising because the cable is broken. How to get out of this situation so that the touch ID works? who did it? I’m still thinking about repairing the cable, but it’s not clear where the information is stored, on the cable or in the sensor itself?

    My understanding is that the fingerprint sensor button holds the secret ID.

      I was confused by the chip on the WX 5wE cable. what is his task? if information about the sensor is stored in the case itself under the glass surface, then the cable can be easily replaced?!

          What I realized is that I don’t have enough magnification on the microscope to repair touch id cables 😭😭😭😭😭

            the easiest way is to transfer a T1 chip from a tachid from another board? What do you think?

              I replaced the T1, but it’s not clear which button is on which body! and here’s the question I have: if I install the system and the button doesn’t fit, it gives an error! If I just change buttons, will T1 see its own button or do I need to completely reinstall the system for each button?

                please tell me the touch ID is tied to T1 or to some other chip?

                    MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable

                    MacBook Pro 14" M1 Pro Turns on functions then turns off when I plug in USB C cable to reset the computer. I disconnect the battery fully and then reconnect it and it won't turn back on. After letting it sit for a day I plug the battery back up, and the MagSafe 3 cable and it powers on and stays ons, once I plug in a USB C cable into the port closes to the MagSafe port it turns off and the Amber light turns off and won't turn on. No water damage, nothing, I want to do a DFU restore to wipe the computer since the customer stated they did an update and ever since it just decided to not work...

                    MacBook Pro 15" A1707, 2016 - No Display and Touch Bar
                    by Hauke
                    Hi, I am asking for a little troubleshooting advice.

                    The laptop seems to boot up fine. Caps lock is working, the touch pad has haptic feedback, and even the "charger plugged"-sound is present.
                    Power consumption is about 15-30W at boot and idles at about 20W.

                    Unfortunately, the display and the touch bar are completely black (No signal and no backlight).
                    I don't get a signal on an external USB-C display either. Also not in safe mode.
                    I noticed that only the left fan (from the bottom side, hinge on top) seems to spin up. I think...
