    MacBook Pro M4 Pro - no keyboard / trackpad / lid sensor

    Hello
    I got this MacBook Pro M4 Pro to have a look at.
    It was tiny bit liquid damaged, just the edge of the board got 1 small 10x10 mm area wet. I've seen much worse that still worked fine to be honest.
    Since it was liquid damaged, warranty does not apply anymore.

    Anyways it was checked at an local Apple Store and they discovered that it needs new trackpad, new top case, etc. Also it needed a new lid angle sensor which they replaced.
    The main issue was that the screen remained black.

    Anyways I cleaned the liquid damaged area, put the machine back together and I noticed this:
    - Internal keyboard not working. However I can turn on the machine with pressing any of the keys.
    - Trackpad also dead
    - Machine will not sleep / turn off LCD, when lid is closed

    So now I am thinking the whole issue might be just with the Lid Angle Sensor which they replaced at an Apple Store but they might forgot to calibrate.
    Or there might also be an issue with the trackpad which I discovered was sitting bit uneven, and when I took it off, 3 out of 4 metal shims were missing! One of them was lodged beneath one of the trackpad springs. I am guessing the technician removed this trackpad to check for the liquid damage, and since there was none, he just put it back, but lost the shims.
    Or perhaps this is indeed a Logic Board issue. Sadly I can't find the schematics for it. I compared it to the M3 MBP14 board, but they are quite different.

      Thanks. I checked it out. On their machine the sensor is working, but not at the right angle.
      Mine is completely dead, it does not register opening/closing it no matter the angle.

      Which is weird as it was just replaced. I could try moving the magnet by 180 degrees, but I am thinking that the lid sensor is not even initialized (programmed). I read somewhere that new Lid Angle Sensor needs to be initialized, otherwise it will not work at all.

      What about the non-working trackpad / keyboard?
      I guess I should replace the trackpad first?

        Also forgot to add, but running the diagnostics throw following errors:
        NDR008 NDK001

          check your keyboard cable.

            I checked. Keyboard and trackpad cables are both fine.

              [Macbook pro A1708] [Boot loop] [Trackpad ?]
              by No Lan
              Hey everyone,

              Usually, I'm not the type to ask for help, but this time, I'm calling on your wisdom and expertise I've seen what this community can do, so I'm pretty sure you guys can help me out.

              Here's the deal: I noticed my MacBook got stuck in a boot loop. After opening it up and doing some initial troubleshooting, I found that the boot loop stops only when the trackpad is unplugged.

              Now, just so you know, the trackpad actually works — I tested it with another motherboard and it's all good. Same for the cable, no issues there. The problem is only...

              Apple Macbook Air M1 A2337 Trackpad problem
              by Skrndelj
              Hello all,

              I am repairing a Macbook A2337 and i have a problem
              The Macbook is stuck in restore as someone before me tried a DFU restore and bricked the device, now i can't do a restore as AC2 throws error 1 which is related to the trackpad.
              When i turn on the device i get the trackpad click for a few moments and then nothing, i tried 7 trackpads and 7 trackpad flats, i know all 7 are functioning okay, especially one as i use it for testing and DFU restore.
              I inspected the whole board and everything seems fine.
              Can anyone help me as i didn't fiddle with trackpad...

              MacBook Air M2 A2681 no Trackpad
              by rynr
              Hello,
              I have been following the posts in the forum for some time now and have learned a lot. I would first like to thank you for this and hope that it will continue for a long time.

              I received the MacBook in DFU. The recovery always failed with error 1. After some search, I was able to find a defective inductor (LT202).
              After replacing the component, I was able to successfully complete the DFU restore. Unfortunately, the trackpad and keyboard where still without function.

              So i measured all voltages and diodereadings on the JT400 connector. ...

              MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro Liquid Damage (820-02100)
              by mitchw
              Got a MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16'' to rescue immediately after liquid accident - I got it in less than 30 minutes after the spill.
              It got spilled from behind when the laptop was closed. It mostly affected the rear of the mainboard and the bottom of the LCD.

              I quickly took it apart and washed the liquid residue off the mainboard.
              The area around the UP800 had some light corrosion, but it just washed away with some IPA. Other areas looked undamaged.

              The mainboard got a thorough cleaning, as did the top case and LCD connectors / cables.

              Now the laptop...
