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

LDOs on the CD3217 are fine; I found R5215 had non-measurable resistance, preventing the ISL to recognize a plugged charger.

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.Leave a comment:

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)?
