    macbook air a1466 smc replacement question

    Can i replace SMC from 820-3437B to 820-00165A??Both boards look 100% similar .

    Actually, i went ahead and replaced it as mentioned above. flashed a clean me bios for 820-00165A. Logic board boots and gives display but these 3 dont work:

    01.Wifi
    02.Sound
    03.KBD Backlit.

    Rest everything works perfectly.

    If i flash bios from 820-3437B-will it solve the issue as donor SMC came from 820-3437B board??

    Pl advise.

                  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 pro logic board replacement parts quesion
                  by boosti45
                  i have a 2020 macbook pro 13" A2251 with 820-09149 logic board so i found an issue with chip labeled U6903 according to schem. boardview using flexBV software, so i removed it from the board and the issue im having is that the chip says "07A08FI ELC180​" on top of it but when searching for a replacement chip, i can find tons of identical looking chips that also have "ELC180" printed on them but the first set of digits is never the same so im trying to find out if i need this exact chip with these same numbers as mine and if not which ones are compatible as a replacement?...

                  MacBook Air A2681 battery problem after Screen Replacement
                  by mferna14
                  Hi, my dear friends., Maybe this might be a stupid question or something I missed or do not know. I have 2 MacBook Air A2681 (Indentical color & EMC #), both LCD screens broken. Before ordering the LCD Screens I confirmed both worked with their respective batteries & AC Adapters, & they did 100%. The LCD Screens came in today & I replaced LCD for the 1st A2681. (Removed Battery Terminal cable for both Laptops before installation of LCDs). Perfect Screen & Booted up fine. But it did not work with battery. I checked the battery connector & it was seated in well/perfectly....

                  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?...

                  MAcbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 - 2017 Boot
                  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?
