    MacBook Air 13" A1932 Turns on etc. issue with boot

    So this sounds odd right? Easy thing to fix right? Well someone may have solved this issue.

    Recieved a MacBook Air 13" A1932 in the shop. Turns on everything, runs normal and all, internet recovery comes on...we attempt that...no luck shows no progress bar at all when booting into the spinning globe. Next, we try external USB...select the external usb, it forces us back into internet recovery. We tried all commands, we reset the computer, NVRAM reset etc. no luck so basically in a nutshell
    Internet Recovery fails. USB Boot fails. Target mode won't mount.

    Anyone have an idea what this is? I am leaning towards the battery but the battery is holding a charge as we unplugged the computer and it is staying on. Suggestions would be appreciated.

              Thanks Piernov. We got it working in DFU mode. Odd. It showed someone attempted DFU mode before so that is why we didn't attempt it. We did it ourselves and it fixed the issue. Thanks brother

                  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.

                  ⚠️ New Problem: One USB-C Port Only Works in One Orientation...

                  A1466 MacBook Air 13" 2017 Backlight issue works but then turns off
                  by Stephen
                  Hello, got a weird MacBook Air here
                  board looks fresh and no water damage, backlight works and turns on and stays on when installing OS etc. However, when the os is installed and when the system files are loaded before the login page the backlight goes out. I have wiped it, NVRAM reset, etc and even took some other instances and this blows my mind, never seen this before. Backlight just turns off once the OS is loaded. Anyone come across this and if so what would be the cause? I am certain its a board issue since I tested the LCD on another board and it stays on. Again the backlight works...

                  MacBook Air A1932 820-01521 no boot 5v only
                  by obelix24
                  Hello,

                  I've one MacBook Air a1932 board number 820-01521
                  it's stuck on 5v (0.03 - 0.4a) - I've replaced 2x CD3215 for know good ones. It's still on 5V only and when I connect it to another MacBook it's just connecting and disconnecting.

                  I've checked PPBUS_G3H and the voltage it's not stable (it's still going up and down)

                  is there any voltage regulator ? or what should I check ?

                  I've also checked diode mode PPBUS_G3H on test point near CD3215 and I get 0,474

                  Macbook A1932 Intermittent Backlight Issue 820-01521
                  by Instafixx
                  Namaste,
                  We have a Macbook Air A2337 that came in for repair , it was drawing 5v with 0.00 -0.01 amps. Went through a couple of guides and figured that it was a DFU issue. Revived the Macbook and it then worked like a charm for 15 days.

                  Now it has developed a new problem i.e Intermittent Backlight Failure. Suddenly the Backlight fails and screen goes blank but the laptop is on (checked by playing Music - the laptop screen is blank but the music control respond). Once we close the lid and open it back again, the screen is back on as it was.
                  The issue happens very...
