    MacBook Air A1466 820-00165-A 5V Rail Pulses (on & off)

    hi, i also have the same (P5V_S4RS3) MacBook Air A1466 820-00165-A 5V Rail Pulses (on & off) The strange thing is when I kept machine for 1 day and connect the power It powers on with Chime and booots half way with Apple logo and stuck. at that time when I power of and try power up Fan spins for few seconds and goes off with no P5V_S4RS3 and also the P5V_S4RS3 EN pulses on and off with 3,24 V. Plezzz doesn any one can help me

      MacBook Air A1466 820-00165-A 5V Rail Pulses (on & off)
      by mferna14
      Hi all , I am working on a Apple MacBook Air A1466 820-00165-A logic board. The problem was no back light & all was working fine. I replaced the Backlight chip but still no display & now it does not even turn on. I replaced with a known good back light chip assuming the soldered chip was shorted. But still no luck. Now I measure voltage rails. 3.3V is perfect but 5V Rail Pulses (on & off). TPS51980A, 5V ENABLE pin 4 P5VS4RS3 EN R also fluctuates on & off. 5V comes & then shut off again. This happened continously. I checked for any short to ground, but none. When I check for...

      Macbook Air A1466 820-3437-B Booting Problem
      by psdavid65
      I received a 2013 Macbook Air A1466 820-3437-B motherboard with serial number C02L6GQ9FSV8 that came in WITHOUT a bios chip. I got a new bios chip and reprogrammed it. Macbook now powers on but doesn't boot the SSD. I've flashed a ton of bios but still same problem. Windows installation works with this Macbook but never a mac installation. Unfortunately, since I didn't receive this macbook with a bios chip, I don't have the original bios. What can I do now?...

      Lowest possible resistance on laptop motherboard rail - Guide Table request
      by Nagy Daniel
      Hi, I'm Daniel, and I'm new to the world of repairing motherboards.

      I would like to create a table, or more likely a guideline about the voltage rails and their possible resistance rail.

      I know that the motherboard design has a very big depend on the rail's resistance, but I would like to know what is the smallest value for a rail that can be acceptable. For example, I heard that some new gaming motherboards can have 0,5 Ohm resistance on the GPU rail, but on an older type, it could be a sign of a shorted GPU rail.

      So, I generated a table with AI so I can...

      Macbook A1466 dies when charger disconnected
      by echothegamer
      Hello all,

      Working on my wife's 13' Macbook air. It's been in a box since she upgraded but I figured it could be good practice.

      Details:
      Macbook 13' A1466
      Board (820-3209-A)
      Battery OEM 7.3v 50Wh 6700 mAh (020-7379-A)

      Pictures below of Boardview and schematic...

      I don't know how to test the voltage on a MacBook battery. I just assumed it had an enable pin but the best I could read was 300 something mV poking around the battery connector.

      It's an older model and it is very likely that battery has become...

      Macbook A1466 820-00165A heavy water damage but working with "flashing" screen
      by dbuergi
      Hi all,

      i got a A1466 with serious water damage. I was able to clean the whole board and only found a fuse with a coroded trace. Cleaning and resoldering did the job and the macbook started normal but after some time the screen began "flashing" like turning on and off while the Macbook was still running. I checked the board again but was not able to find the problem until now.
      Any ideas where to look?...
