    Macbook Air A2179 - Mobo 820-01958 stuck at 15.2V

    Hi there,

    I've got this case that puzzles me and I couldn't find any similar case to explain it. Maybe you guys can help?

    The computer went to black screen while being used and fan started to rev full speed. It had to be forced shut down. Since then, fires up but no display, no chime and not in DFU.

    I took the board out and inspected it with microscope: no visible damage to chips, no liquid damage. I checked all coils: no short.

    The board goes to 3.5V, then 5V, then gets stuck at 15.2V.

    L7030, L7400 and CPU (with its cooler on) go up to 65 Celsius within 20 seconds (according to thermal cam)...

    Am I looking at a dead CPU?

      MacBook Air A2179 - shorted trackpad, PPBUS_G3H stuck at 1,1v.
      by Gueric
      Hello people !

      I received an A2179 with a destroyed trackpad connector (all PPBUS_G3H_TPAD_FLT pads were destroyed). PPBUS_G3H was shorted to ground. I removed the trackpad connector, cleaned the area thoroughly, removed some bits of burnt copper, and short was gone. But PPBUS was stuck at 1,1v, even tho PPDCIN_G3H measured 5.2v So I replaced the 2 ISL's MOSFETs (Q7030, Q7040) in case they got killed by the short. Nothing changed.

      I then replaced the ISL, still nothing. measured all its pads, good. resistors around the chip are also good. resistance on PPBUS was good,...

      MacBook Air A2179 stuck on Apple Logo
      by mferna14
      Hi all, working on a MacBook Air A2179 EMC 3302 stuck on Apple Logo. Came in dead. There was spillage on both of the USB-C Charge port connector. I replaced the cap 4.7UF 25V near the speaker connector as it was corroded. Replaced USB-C connector with a new one & now I get display. The problem is that gets stuck on the Apple logo & sometimes it even boots up into OS after a very long time & the CPU fan spins fast. Kindly any repair tips will be appreciated. Do these logic board have BIOS, so that I could do a clean up or load a new dump. Thanks in advance.

      my question is: why doesnt the board start know without this chip.... worked myself through the boardview but i can´t understand...

      MacBook A2179 Audio board+Power button boardview & schematic needed
      by Darren Hibbert
      Hi.

      Long shot but does anyone have a schematic & boardview for the audio board+power button on a Macbook A2179?

      There is a shorted cap on mine and I need to know if I can safely remove it or whether I need to replace it and with what capacitor.

      Many thanks. ...
