    Macbook a2338 M1 CD3217 chip compatibility

    Hi,

    I have a2338 MacBook with one bad CD3217 chip. Are there any compatible chips on aliexpress that actually work? Or only chip from same motherboard can be used?

    I remember buying one CD3215 for older 15" model on aliexpress and that one worked.

    Thanks!

          You can find good chips there, but you'll also find bad ones. Best to source from a parts board if you can; the 02020 boards can have the controllers replaced individually if you pull from the same model/etc. There are plenty of good sellers on eBay for chips as well!

              Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
              by acedogblast
              This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

              There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

              MacBook Pro 14". The screen DP chip failed.
              by SSBDADC234

              When replacing the screen of this MacBook model, the DP855A chip must be moved from the existing screen for the screen to operate properly.
              However, when I removed the DP855A chip from the existing screen, I must have done something wrong and the chip broke.
              Testing the chip pins with a multimeter revealed a short circuit inside the chip.
              Is it impossible to repair this? I couldn't find a programmer for this chip, nor any eeprom programmer software.​...

              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...
