    820-4924-A works but it doesn't turn the fan

    i've got this macbook with liquid damage, you can see it in the pictures.

    i cleaned out of the wet zone.

    The mac turns on and works well, but I see the fan doesn't turn on.

    I put in a new fan, the failure persists

    I have the signals of 3.3v and 5 v, but I don't have SMC_FAN_0_CTL

    The question is, what signs should be present for the generation of SMC_FAN_0_CTL?

    Thank you for your time and your answer

    Fan won't spin until CPU gets burning hot.

      the CPU gets warmed up, you hear the chime, there's image.

      In all the macbook when connecting the magsafe, there's a fan spin.


      In this case, it's not like that, I'm worried because I'm afraid it might burn

        Piernov, thank you, I've got the logic. Compare to another Macbook the same and this model does not turn on the fan when the magsafe is placed as in the case of 820-3115…

        Thank you so much for your time and answers -- beginner learning ��

          MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
          by rounin
          Hi everyone,

          I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

          🛠 Original Issue
          The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
          Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

          I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

          MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) - 5V, won't turn on - please help me understand why
          by mkdj
          Hello everyone,

          About me, my goal and the equipment I (don't) have:
          I am brand new to this forum, and I am eager to learn about repairing laptops. I have an engineer background although I haven't done electronics for a while. I have watched several Youtube videos in the last two months, trying to understand how to diagnose a faulty motherboard. I have a USB-C Amp meter and a classic multi meter. No DC Power Supply to inject voltage, no soldering iron to replace components.

          About my issue and my goal:
          A friend of mine has a MacBook Air M1 A2337 that does not...

          Hey! how are you guys? i wonder if you could help me with this macbook 820-2936 that does not turn on. (Doesn't have green/orange light).

          History:
          this macbook came for a short on C6990 that blows D6990 and R6990 on his way. i re-placed the componets and it work again.

          A month later comes back again and has the actual problem (no green/orange light and dont turn on)

          The macbook can turn on with only the battery connected but in fact, dosent charge.

          Voltajes:

          PP3V42_G3H = 3.3v
          PPBUS_G3H = 12.2V

          MacBook Air A1466 does not turn on from keyb ON/OFF button
          by mferna14
          Dear buddies., working on a MacBook Air A1466 (Logic Board 820-00165-A 2017). The logic board turns on fine (This is all done without battery) & the Magsafe jack is lit to orange. I boot it up to OS. Once I shut it down, it does not turn on again unless I remove the magsafe 2 jack & put it back again. There is no liquid spill & the voltages seem to be fine. I re-build a new BIOS & CleanME region done, but the problem still exsist. Once shut down, does not turn on from the keyb power ON/OFF button. I put in a new keyboard & the MagSafe/Audio board & a new flex cable too,...
