    Macbook Air A1465 Not Charging after liquid damage

    Hello guys,

    Hopefully someone will shed me a light.
    I have this Macbook Air A1465 820-00164-A which seems to work on a charger but wont charge. Interesting thing is that battery icon shows it as charging and connected to a power source. But battery not taking charge and there is no charging light on the adapter either.


    It suffered a liquid damage with no traces of oxidation on the board.

    It turns on and qorks as expected apart than the charging issue.
    I am planing to order and replace the charging chip, and was wondering if anywhere else i should look first. Voltages provided seems to be okay.

    Schematic and board designs can be found here http://downloadsekarang123.blogspot....schematic.html

    Hope you guys will have better ideas than me.

        MacBook Pro A2442 (Board No. 820-02443-05) – Liquid Damage Repair Assistance
        by rounin
        Device Information
        • Model: MacBook Pro 14” M1 Pro (A2442)
        • Logic board number: 820-02443-05

        Original Issue
        The device suffered liquid damage, causing a short circuit on the logic board.
        Near the audio jack area, the CR852 capacitor pad was severely burned, creating a clear short-circuit path. The board could not power on properly.

        Work Performed
        Removed the short circuit by drilling through the board (bypassing the short path) in the CR852 area.

        Current Status

        A1466 Macbook Air (Liquid damage repair)
        by mon2
        Hi. Recently serviced a damaged A1466 Macbook Air. Thought to post the issues and resolution for each.

        Macbook AIR Model A1466 Diagnostic 09-01-2021

        Issue: Liquid damaged (beer spill) Macbook AIR will not power up.


        Problems & Resolutions

        1) Attached Apple magsafe power adapter. No green / no orange light. This confirms the absence of the PP3V42_G3H voltage rail. The PP3V42_G3H rail is the primary voltage rail necessary to communicate with the magsafe power adapter to report the green or orange light status to the end user....

        MacBook Pro 13inch 2017mid (A1706 820-00923-A) - liquid damage - USBC and Display short circuit
        by rilley
        Hello everyone,
        I am new into this, sorry to post it here. I want to make this as a pet hobby project, as this mac is not urgent.

        I have (Macbook Pro 13inch 2017mid) A1706 820-00923-A

        My mac had liquid damage a long time ago, the connector from J8500 is damaged on pin 46 (PP5V_S0_ALSCAM_F), I guess the LCD/display panel is in short circuit, as I saw the connector from the LCD burned as well.

        And the resistor L4004 is literally burned.

        From what I see from the schematics, it does not affect any other rails, only the connection to the display...

        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...

        MacBook Pro A2485 820-02100 - 5V/0.4A after liquid damage
        by atamanenko
        Hello! I'm attempting to repair 820-02100 after liquid damage. There were several affected areas: UT000, U5700, UF750 and their surrounding capacitors and resistors, UR600 audio ic, several capacitors on the backside of U8100 (namely C80A3, C80A0, C8060, C8061, C8103). After thorough cleaning of the board, I started measuring around the affected areas and found PPVIN_P3V8AON and PPVOUT_KBDLED_CONN shorted. I replaced UT000 and U5700 and like 20 more components on PPVIN_P3V8AON line for good measure until every last corroded component and the short went away. After that I tried powering on (naked...
