Macbook pro 13 A2442 820-02098 Touch ID doubt

09-24-2024, 02:36 AM

I have a macbook pro 14.1 A2442 that has had contact with liquid, the affected area is the one near the touch id connector (see image). I carefully cleaned the affected area but the UT600 chip (LM3638A0) seems to be in poor condition and probably needs to be replaced.
I searched online and found the replacement but it is indicated as a spare part for iphone 6 and 6 plus and at this point I had a doubt, does this chip have some type of programming?
Forgive the question, I'm just an enthusiast but I had this doubt and before ordering the spare part I wanted to be sure I wasn't doing anything stupid.

MacBook Pro M1 2021 A2442 Touch ID stopped working

by Gigabit2

I replaced the audio board in this laptop and everything is functioning except Touch ID which no longer works. Neither Touch ID is detected nor the button itself works, so it does not turn on or off the computer or sleep etc.

How can I troubleshoot the cause?

Macbook A2442 no display board 820-02098

by dbuergi

Hi all,

i got a Macbook A2442 which statrts normal but is not showing any picture. Using an external monitor works fine. After opening the Macbook i found a dried up line of liquid damage around CN979, RD503, and UP730. I cleaned up everything and also unsoldered the chips to clean the pads. There were no shorts before but i still don't have any picture. Sometimes you can see a glimpse of light in the middle of the display.
So before i change the whole display i want to make sure that it's not any issue with the logicboard. So any ideas what i can check next?...

MacBook A2442 not powering on – suspecting CD3217, but replacement didn’t help

by TechSplendid

Hi All,

I'm working on a MacBook Pro A2442 (14", 2021) that's not powering on. On two out of three USB-C ports, I get 5V and the current briefly ramps up to around 0.210A before dropping to 0.036A. On the third port (JF600), I only get 0.0045A and it stays there.

Initially, I suspected a faulty CD3217 on that port, especially since I noticed signs of previous liquid damage near the JF600 USB connector. I replaced the CD3217 with an UF400 (from an A2442 donor board from the same location). According to the supplier, this should be a compatible version, but the behavior...

Macbook Air 2020 (a2179) - touch id not working

by obelix24

Hi i have one Macbook Air 2020 where touch ID is not working (it's not scanning fingerprints). Touch ID was working before, there is no error message during scanning fingerprint it's just not scanning on screen you can see only fingerprint but there are no red updates as when it's working. Power button is working fine.

I've checked boardview and also schematics but i'm not able to find anything related to TouchID ... i have similar issue on a2338 where there was problem with PP3V0_TOUCHID and after replacing UT610 it was working but here i'm not able to find anything related to...

Macbook Pro A2442 820-02098 No image but has backlight

by Constantinos

Hi all
I have a Macbook Pro A2442 with the 820-02098 from a friend which has no picture on the display, however, the backlight works.
He was streaming a football match on a questionable site, then the site crashed, and the problem emerged.
Initially, he sent it to apple, who quoted him £1323.95 to replace the display, lid angle sensor and top case.
Obviously, he decided against this and gave it to me so that I could have a crack at it.
From initial diagnostics, I connected to an external monitor, I first tried with a HP 22W monitor, and I booted into the boot menu...
