    Which part is onboard? Is it from the donor or from DK? Either way, can you share the topside part #? There should be a datasheet available for the component.

      The donor component is currently installed on the board. It was pulled from an identical board. I haven't yet purchased any components for this repair yet.

      The datasheet can be found here

        Yes, I would definitely test with a known good part here. Order a few spares. They are inexpensive.

        The part # LSF0102DQER is the one you want = X2SON package.

            Back again with some new components from DigiKey installed. Some behavior is different, but still not quite right.

            Components Replaced:
            U5150 (RCLAMP3552T)
            UD201 (LSF0102)

            New Behavior:


            With logic board fully installed, power adapter connected, but NO battery connected to logic board:

            I2C_SMC_PWR_3V3_SCL: 3.25V
            I2C_SMC_PWR_3V3_SCA: 3.25V

            Taking same voltage measurement of the same lines WITH battery connected:

            I2C_SMC_PWR_3V3_SCL: 0.607V
            I2C_SMC_PWR_3V3_SCA: 0.76mV

            Since I am now getting the correct voltage on the two battery lines WITHOUT the battery connected (after replacing U5150 and UD201), but then the voltage changes only AFTER the battery is connected to something that isn't acceptable, does that suggest that the battery itself and/or the battery flex cable may now be the culprit or could it be something else with the logic board?

            I feel like we're getting closer...

              Disconnect the battery. While the battery is on your work bench, meter in resistance mode, measure the resistance to the battery ground of:

              I2C_SMC_PWR_3V3_SCL
              I2C_SMC_PWR_3V3_SDA

              These will be on the battery connector itself. We are trying to confirm if the SMBUS interface is defective on the actual battery. Or you can test the same with another known good battery on the logic board.

                Macbook A2338 Amp Meter Reboots
                by Instafixx
                Hello,
                Namaste.

                I have a Macbook A2338 that came in for turning on issue. It turned on once when i had it but then again went off. The amp meter but bootloop. The board was clean - no dust - no green .

                I performed a DFU Revive. Got the error 4042. Assumed BAD SSD. But it turned on , worked well for 1 day and again went off.

                Anything can be done ?The customer needs data

                Macbook Pro M1 (A2338) - Not Charging but Detected and Post
                by bibinskii
                A client showed up with a Macbook Pro M1 stating that the battery doesn't get charged (no increase in percentage) but still charge. She left me with the battery 25% and still draining. The Macbook is fully functional. I checked with coconut battery and system report. Battery health shows 85% and stating normal condition, no abnormalities. When it is charging, the system says it takes 10 hour to finish charging. I went ahead to charge it for a longer period, the battery just drains (doesn't get charged).

                At first, I thought that this must be a battery issue. I went to replace the battery....

                Macbook A2338 / A2337 - Replace SSD
                by todordm
                There are a lot of Video Tutorials how the SSD of A2338 or A2337 can be upgraded. Normally they say you can order the bigger SSD chips (0 and 1) from China. But as far as I understand you can take the SSD chips of one A2337/A2338 and install on another, put to DFU mode, do the recovery, reinstall etc... I tried that several times (tried to upgrade 256GB to 512Gb, then to 1TB, then to another 256Gb)... nothing worked. So my question to the community is: can I just take the SSD chips from one A2338 and intall them on another A2338 (taking care of course of the 0 and 1 positions)? Or I have always...

                by spacez
                I have an XPS 15 9520 with a damaged bios so I flashed another one from badcaps. in manufacturing mode I changed the service tag but unfortunately ssd is not detected and also the error -tpm device is not detected- please help me. I haven't changed the tpm chip yet. Thanks in advance

                by User555111
                Currently Im trying to get this A2338 13" 2022 MacBook Pro M2 to function properly, Right now the trackpad and keyboard are not working but the power button and keyboard backlight are working. the Touch Bar shows display but does not respond to touch. I bought it on eBay and it was described as having a bad lcd. When I received it however I found that it was also missing the wifi and bluetooth antenna along with most of the screws hardware. it was also showing picture on the LCD but no backlight, I could also see some lines on the screen indicating the lcd was also somewhat damaged. on top...
