Hi everyone, first post here – long-time reader though. I have a dead MacBook Air M1 (2020) that won't charge or power on.
Device info:
MacBook Air (M1, 2020)
Model j313ap (A2337, logic board 820-02016)
Symptom:
No charging, no power on at all.
Restore attempts:
Apple Configurator finds the MacBook in DFU mode, as Linux with lsusb: Bus 001 Device 021: ID 05ac:1227 Apple, Inc. Mobile Device (DFU Mode).
It looks like the MacBookAir is in firmware boot loop. I have tried to restore 14.x version and 26.2 (latest) version firmware, but just after iBSS send I see at Dmesg: apple-mfi-fastcharge 1-5: USB disconnect, device number 29
Device restore shows this:
Voltage measurements:
LOGIC BOARD DETACHED (NO CONNECTORS EXCEPT USB BOARD):
PPBUS_AON: 11.96V (C5804)
PP3V8_AON_VDDMAIN: 3.79V (C5895)
PP5V_S2: 5.18V (CP717)
PP3V3_S2_UPC: 3.29V(CF751)
PP3V3_UPC0_LDO: 3.27V (RF242)
PP3V3_UPC1_LDO: 3.29V (CF508)
PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE: 1.59V (CF405)
PP1V5_UPC1_LDO_CORE: 1.585V (CF505)
PP1V8_AON: 1.801V (CR851)
LOGIC BOARD IN PLACE AND ALL CONNECTORS:
PP1V8_S2: 1.796V (JR850)
PP1V25_S2: 1.223V (JF202 PIN 12)
Other tests:
Multiple USB cables/ports tried.
Question:
Voltages look good. Is this almost certainly dead NAND/SSD or are there other common things to check on 820-02016 boards (e.g. PMIC, SoC ROM, etc.)? Worth trying NAND reball/reflow or is the board scrap?
Thank you in advance for your kind answers.
