    A3113 corrosion to LAS = No keyboard, yet screen and trackpad work fine

    Hi All.

    I have a A3113 MacBook Air 13" (M3) that had minor liquid damage. The screen remains on if the lid is closed, the keyboard doesn't work, but trackpad and Touch ID does.​
    The LAS was corroded, but I have tested it on an A2681 (M2) and it functions fine. Anyway, I ordered a new one and replaced it and calibrated it with Apple.

    I have checked the main voltages going to the daughterboard and they are present. Diode mode reading on the LAS line which goes direct to the SoC is also correct, no short.

    So then I replaced the daughterboard, and still no change in symptoms.

    Update - The M3 A3113 has two mechanisms to determine lid position, the lid angle sensor AND a hall effect sensor.
    There is a hall effect sensor built into the keyboard backlight cable. In my case it was sending voltage to UR300 correctly depending on whether i was putting a magnet there or not, but I was getting no change in output on pin 8, which stayed at 1.7V.

    I replaced UR300 with one from an M2 Air, now the Mac correctly detects whether the lid is open or closed. However, still no keyboard at all....

      KDL-60EX500. Comes on fine, sound is fine, backlights come on. Blank screen. Already tried reset POWER/VOL-. Anyone else have this problem? Possibly bad T-Con RUNTK4244ZZ or panel? Could main or power supply cause this? There were 2 blown 560u 35v on power going to backlights but they were still working fine. Thanks for your help.

      MBA13 M3 2024 A3113 EMC8611 820-03285 No Trackpad No Keyboard (water damaged)

      Hi Guys,

      This Mac come with dead issues (severe water damage), now it’s turning ON except Trackpad and Keyboard not working.

      Already check and write down DM for JT400 and JT201 don’t find any abnormal value (I don’t have unit for compare).

      Already try,
      • Replacing Trackpad Flex Cable
      • Replacing New Trackpad
      • Replacing Little Board (Daughter Board)
      • Try using New Keyboard
      Still no change at all, Trackpad and Keyboard not working.

      So I check “Power Load Switches” and this is all the numbers,
      UC830 > 1 = 3.297V ; 3 =1.757V ; 4 = 3.798V...

      Macbook Air M2 A2681 Kernel panics after screen replacement
      by reformatt
      Just had a customer bring in a M2 MBA A2681 that had had a screen replacement in April at another repairer. Since then, she has been getting intermittent kernel panics. It's an aftermarket screen, and of course it fails in diagnostics as the calibration hasn't been done. The error in the panic log is "No device added after powering on the rails".

      It seems the original repairer has swapped the board and the screen to other MAC's, and said that it isn't a screen issue. From what I understand, by doing a quick search on Google, this is in fact a screen issue. The panic relates...

      820-00426 (A1398 2015) no trackpad, no keyboard.
      by nicocorradini
      Hi! I have this 2015 A1398 with 820-00426 board that's driving me crazy. It originally came because of charging problems (MagSafe Board roasted, also MagSafe cable, etc. After disassembly, clean and assembly, my assistant (literally) broke FL803 and other componentes. Obviously, no screen or backlight. After replacing them, and also the LVDS connector, and LVDS flex on the screen, the board started fine, charges, chimes, shows Apple Logo, but surprise: no more trackpad or keyboard.

      Important notes:
      -Click works, so, trackpad is alive.
      -Already tried with another trackpad,...

      iphone XS turns off when press on screen.
      by smic717394
      Hi,

      I have a iphone XS that came in for a screen replacement, the screen was badly cracked, and inside missing scues, on the back of the screen still the blue protector, the screen was a LCD. So we replaced the screen and all good, installed the screen and we noticed that pressing the screen with a bit of force but not excessive, the phone dies. After plugging the charger it turns back on, but again if you press it it dies. I open the phone again, and I can't see anything major, with the phone open, if I press on the logic board, battery, charging board, or even putting pressure on...
