    Yep...I broke it MOAR after fixing it. a2681 MacBook Air

    So, what are the odds I shorted the M2 CPU? I got in an a2681 MacBook Air. Liquid damage. Ordered from China and replaced a chip (APL109D 343S00555) cleaned corosion and ultrasonic..The whole 9 yards.
    Last night I put it all together and it came on beautifully. 20V- Apple Logo. I celebrated and knocked the LCD connector loose right away while holding the laptop. Now, it wont boot and it cycles on the volt meter.
    Cycle 20v - .02a then volt meter goes off, then it comes on and rinse and repeat. Classic sign of a MacBook short. I looked at the board with my thermal camera and I can see both APL chips pulse and heat up along with the VRAM on the chip. It pulses on then off, then on then off.
    I am sick, but I am wondering if anyone knows if you can short these M2 - M1- M whatever chips by accidently unplugging the LCD connector.
Working...
