    A noob needs help for Apple Macbook Air M1 2020 A2337 - logic board short circuit

    Hello all!

    Recently I've got a broken Macbook Air M1 2020 A2337 of eBay with a broken screen and not turning on issue.

    After some tinkering I've found C5201 capacitor to be blown. This is where I hit a wall since I am a total noob in this area and have no idea what else to look for. C5201 is on one line with 3 more capacitors which visually seem ok, but beep on continuity mode and also both sides of all capacitors beep when tested with ground from the board. This to me sounds like a short, but I am not able to find what component is before the capacitors to test it. Any tips and help with be greatly appreciated.
    Please refer to the attached images and video

    Remove all power. Meter in resistance mode. Measure the resistance to ground of this region. Post the resistance in ohms. Has this board been worked on by another shop? Liquid damage?
