    Macbook Pro A2338 820-02020 Stuck on RESTORE MODE

    Good day, friends. Got this problem with M1 macbook - it starts, chimes, tries to boot and stuck with a message "support.apple.com/mac/restore"
    It works with DFU mode, but it's cannot be restored. With "revive" function - same problem. Internal restore mode doesn't work, as well as Internet Recovery.
    There is no damage on the motherboard. No short circuits.
    Could it be a NAND problem? (but usually, if NAND is dead - mac simply wouldn't turn on)
    Thanks.

      Macbook Pro DFU Restore Issues
      by Flasman90
      I have a 2020 Macbook Pro A2289 and after many attempts managed to get it into DFU mode, using my older 2017 A1706 Macbook Pro (Running Ventura 13.7.8). However, when attempting 'Restore', it fails at step 4 of 4, showing the following error:

      - "The operation couldn’t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error -1 - Failed to handle message type StatusMsg (Generic error)) [AMRestoreErrorDomain – 0xA (10)]
      - "The system cannot be restored on this device. Failed to create new state machine for restore [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore - 0xFB1 (4017)]

      Macbook pro 13'' A2338 late 2020 stuck at 5V
      by mariusm28
      Hi,

      I bought a waterdamaged macbook pro A2338 , late 2020 EMC 3578, its stuck at 5V 0,06mA.
      The 3V8 (U5700) chip is shorted out, atleast the PPBUS_VMAIN_VIN_ISNS Cap is and a bunch of resistors. It also seems that a resistor is missing. Does anyone have a boardview to tell me wich resistor goes where arround the U5700?

      And for the macbook to boot it requiers 20V am I right? Wich chip tells the charger that it is a Macbook and not a phone?

      Thank you so much!...

      MacBook Pro M1 A2338 256/16 820-2020 Turns On but No Charge, stuck 5V
      by Daniel M
      Hello all,

      I bought this MacBook brand new at launch. I have taken care of it since new and it suddenly failed on me recently.. it began to refuse to charge.

      I first checked all the basic things before opening it, to no avail.

      I have now opened it and taken the logic board out. I did a visual inspection and found no visible liquid damage or corrosion, or exploded caps, burnt components, etc. Cleaned the usb c connectors.

      Here are my measurements thus far:



      PBBUS_AON: 12V

      PP5V_S2: 5.3V

      PP3v8_AON:...

      Hi all,

      I’m new to the forum and could use a bit of help. My name is Tom and I have a problem 😅

      I bought a MacBook Pro M1 and also got a second one for spare parts. The seller told me it had a small water spill. After opening it, I found four spots with corrosion on the board.

      One of those spots has damaged components — I’m not sure if they’re capacitors or other SMD parts. I’ve already cleaned the whole board with isopropanol, which made the other areas look fine. But could those damaged caps be the reason why the MacBook won’t power on?...

      Hello,i want to repair this mainboard mod.820-02020.It is visually speaking in perfect condition,no signs of damage burn,no spilled,no corrosion,and i'm pretty confident that nobody has opened the device before.
      The problem is that is not booting at all,and it's not boosting to 20v.
      Can you help me to do a correct diagnose of main voltage rails (AON and others),to track down the issues?
      i have tools boardview and schematics so i can do measures no problem,
      i know that i can do that and learn with your help,
      one important note
      i attach pics of the two usb-c ports...
