    Need help with a Macbook A1466 13" emc 2925

    Hello, I am one the 400 tourists locked down in Goa, no chance to escape from here. Since I know how to hold the right end of a soldering iron people come to me in the hope I can fix their Macbooks etc.pp. I did my best to and could solve 30 Macbooks which were suffering from simple humidity problems. But some have issues where I have to learn how to do this. This is why I came to this forum and I hope you can support me. Here we go with MacBook no 1:

    The Macbook 1466 in front of me did not turn on. I opened it up, cleaned all the moisture and dirt. After this I can turn it on but only if I disconnect the IO board cable and run it on battery. As soon as I connect the charger the MacBook will not turn on. I checked the charger by replacing it with a new one. I had the MacBook here and exchanged the IO board with a good one. Also, I could replace the IO board cable with a working one So I guess the problem is on the logic board side Can anyone guide me how to identify and treat the issue? I know round about how to measure but have no idea where to start...

      Need BIOS/EFI dump for MacBook Air A1466 2015 EMC 2925 (8gb)
      by yura8
      Hi there! I have not so usual situation...

      I have 2015 MacBook Air A1466 EMC 2925 with 8Gb of RAM. It seams that I've killed it by bad SSD adapter. It starts, cooler works... But no chime, screen is black. SMC reset seams works, NVRAM reset doesnt works...

      My repair guy has checked all possible. It's all ok with power. The last idea - I could kill EFI firmware... So, I need a firmware of EFI to check it. I have a programmer. But I don't have a similar laptop now to download it and compare

      P.S. If you have else any ideas about repair, or you had a similar...

      Macbook Air A1466 820-3437-B Booting Problem
      by psdavid65
      I received a 2013 Macbook Air A1466 820-3437-B motherboard with serial number C02L6GQ9FSV8 that came in WITHOUT a bios chip. I got a new bios chip and reprogrammed it. Macbook now powers on but doesn't boot the SSD. I've flashed a ton of bios but still same problem. Windows installation works with this Macbook but never a mac installation. Unfortunately, since I didn't receive this macbook with a bios chip, I don't have the original bios. What can I do now?...

      Macbook A1466 dies when charger disconnected
      by echothegamer
      Hello all,

      Working on my wife's 13' Macbook air. It's been in a box since she upgraded but I figured it could be good practice.

      Details:
      Macbook 13' A1466
      Board (820-3209-A)
      Battery OEM 7.3v 50Wh 6700 mAh (020-7379-A)

      Pictures below of Boardview and schematic...

      I don't know how to test the voltage on a MacBook battery. I just assumed it had an enable pin but the best I could read was 300 something mV poking around the battery connector.

      It's an older model and it is very likely that battery has become...

      Macbook A1466 820-00165A heavy water damage but working with "flashing" screen
      by dbuergi
      Hi all,

      i got a A1466 with serious water damage. I was able to clean the whole board and only found a fuse with a coroded trace. Cleaning and resoldering did the job and the macbook started normal but after some time the screen began "flashing" like turning on and off while the Macbook was still running. I checked the board again but was not able to find the problem until now.
      Any ideas where to look?...

      by Sergio Kub
      Could someone help me?
      I have a Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 - 2017, board 820-00165 and sometimes the boot interrupts with an image of a folder and a question mark.
      Could it be the BIOS?
