    So i got further now. I sucessfully removed the Icloud Lock from the Macbook. Now it is Installed new. But Everything works but also no Screen wich is no surprise because the Rail is down. What i noticed is that the Battery now is Charging and also having 100% Health. But. It does not boot without a plugged Charger. Is the Problem because it says, no screen no boot?!

    Greetings Tom

      Test with an external display using an usb to hdmi dongle. Do you have video?

        Yes Having normal Display. What i recognized is following.

        Battery Charges normal and Macbook runs on Battery. If i power down with Charger and then Open Display or pushing any Button. Macbook starts. If i power down and let it completley shut off then disconnect Charger and hit a Button or open the Display. Macbook Starts with Battery.

        When i let it Sit a while without Charger it does not Start. So The Battery is present but is somehow not connected to the Mainrail to fire it up. And also Screen is no backlight. But rest of the Macbook is working normal.

          a2338 2020 Macbook Pro liquid damaged won't turn on- weird issue
          by bigbadbios
          Hi,
          I am trying to fix this liquid damaged 2020 Macbook pro and I noticed something weird.
          When I push on/around the renesas 501cr0b IC, which appears to be a clock generator/ multiplier, If I apply lot of pressure, the device will reach 19.9 volts and seems to be trying to work.
          I have thoroughly reflowed that area and completely removed that chip (there was some liquid stain in that area) but no help. I have just 5v 0a unless I apply the pressure.
          Your help is GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

          Greetings to the entire forum, I ask you for help because I'm going crazy. A dear friend of mine gave me a macbook pro M1 A2338 that only works with an external screen. With the internal one, no backlight or image. Only the external display is detected from the system settings.
          First I changed the display flat, then I made a backup with time machine and tried a reset in dfu but nothing to do, always the same problem.
          I analyzed the logic board, it shows no sign of liquid or visible damage. I then moved on to examine the logic with the thermal camera and found that the UP701 chip was...

          MacBook Pro M2 A2338 with PowerSupply it is running, "X" on the battery symbol and FAN is running permanently
          by Schluchti45
          I have a MacBook Pro A2338 M2. The MacBook runs with the power supply unit. The fan runs permanently and the battery shows the message “Service recommended”.
          I have already replaced the battery with a new one, but this has not helped. I have also tried DFU and the system restored the error remains the same.
          Do any of you have any ideas where I could look or how I should proceed here?...
