    MAcbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 - 2017 Boot

    Could someone help me?
    I have a Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 - 2017, board 820-00165 and sometimes the boot interrupts with an image of a folder and a question mark.
    Could it be the BIOS?

      I would try to clean the contacts of the removable SSD with IPA (alcohol) and then test again.

          I've already cleaned it with IPA and heated each contact terminal in the SSD slot, and I've also replaced the NVME SSD. Every now and then, the paste and the question mark appear. Strange, I've never had a problem like that. Thanks.

              I removed the board and noticed that it had solder flux marks on the top.
              They had already handled it and hadn't been careful.
              I returned it. Thank you!

                  Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 missing power and liquid damaged
                  by BMCappelletti
                  Hi everyone.
                  Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 (board 820-00165 A) not turning on and no charging light. Completely dead. With no battery connected it would power up and I could hear the chime, but nothing on the screen and then a sudden turn off. Sometimes during the chime. Opened it up and found some liquid damage. The flat that connects both boards has damage in one side (with a missing pin already). The connectors on the boards are fine, though.
                  Also, there was liquid damage on the included picture area, which are R8111 and C8111. A quick and soft brush on it made the resistor be gone....
