    Macbook Air A2337 not turning on - ISL or CD issue?

    Have an A2337 here, which suffered some serious coffee damage. After cleaning C5220 fell from the board, so I replaced it and after lifting the ISL I found pad C5 was also partially corroded, first reballed the original ISL (no power), and then replaced it from a donor.
    I now get 5V / ~10mA stable on the charger, and found the CHGR_GATE_Q2 (GATE_Q2 on the ISL) doesn't get activated (Q1 does).

    Is this an ISL or a communication issue (perhaps with the CD3217s)?

    LDOs on the CD3217 are fine; I found R5215 had non-measurable resistance, preventing the ISL to recognize a plugged charger.
    Now at 5V / 7 - 30 mA, but with super short peaks to 2A every ~20s (as of the PLD Amp-Meter).
    Found Q5230 short pins 1+2, swapped that and also Q5240. After a longer waiting time, finally the MacBook turns on and boots

      After thinking a bit longer, i think both GATE_Q1 and GATE_Q2 should oscillate. Will find another donor tomorrow to transplant the third ISL on that board. Didn't find any shorts, and diode readings around the isl are ok, too.

        Check the LDO rails on each CD3217.

            Macbook Air 1466 Backlight and Fan Issue
            by Instafixx
            Hi,
            I have a Macbook A1466 820-00165 with a Backlight issue and Fan Spinning Fast.

            To Elaborate, the Apple Logo used to come on for a few seconds and the become dim. Somtimes it used to stay on till the password screen.

            So we replaced U7701 and the Backlight issue is resolved. But the Max Fan Spin is still there.

            Tried replacing the LIO Cable and LIO Board but still its there.

            Macbook Boots Up
            After a few seconds the FAN starts spinning at Max Speed. I guess the CPU is throttled too as the it becomes really slow. The board...

            Macbook pro A11989 820-00850 SSD not detected after issue with power 5V instead of 20
            by Dcaub
            Hello
            I have a issue with a 820-00850 the mainboard was not going to 20V it stays on 5V - 0.06A . I have checked different voltages and they seems to be ok.
            So i have used Apple Configurator 2.6 from another Macbook to program the T2 Firmware. (Seen on a Louis Rossman Youtube)
            After this has been done the macbook is starting again so this was causing the problem but it is not starting there is the Question Mark folder on the display.
            I have tried to start with Command + R and there reinstall the operating system from Internet but when the download was complete and de...

            by mferna14
            Hi., today working on a Apple MacBook Macbook Pro A1706 (Board part # 820-00239-A) not turning ON with battery. The notebook turns on 100% fine with USB-C Power adapter (NO BATTERY INSTALLED), boots up well & all seems to be perfect. I connect J6950 to the main battery terminal & it's fine, boots up well but does not work with battery as till now the MB did not detect the battery & no battery icon shows up. As soon as I connect the BDM battery flex cable to J6951, the ampmeter display goes on & off & takes only 5v & this is in a loop (display comes & goes after detecting...

            Nand voltages are missing.

            I've found no shorts at all so far, no signs of heat via thermal camera either.

            by Riananyaina
            Hello Everyone ,

            today I'm coming to you regarding my issue which is no Backlight .

            I have image on my screen but no light .

            The macbook was one that I bought few month ago that I used with an external screen . Now I started to do some analysis on the MB which my limited knowledge .
            First thing is that it suffered from liquid damage . The fuse was not ok when I openned it the first time . But I already changed it after testing that there is no short to ground on this line .

            Please find below few informations which can help for the analysis...
