    Macbook Air A1932 2018 late

    Hello everyone,
    I don't have to much experience with Mac devices and ask for your help
    I got this Apple device: Macbook Air A1932 EMC3184 which is running very slow , battery percentage stay on 1%.
    I opened and found swollen battery inside, unplug the connector from logic board.
    I tried to reinstall the software, Catalina, but it so slow , no success , with some errors on network connection. I tried again from an external USB-C stick , very slow, and I got different errors, no success, even with procedure: press power button and connect the charger adapter for running in safe mode.
    It's any software for hardware diagnostics for SSD or RAM ?
    Any ideas will be very helpfully.
    Thank you

              Changed the battery first. Second chkdisk HDD for bad sectors. Common to need a new HDD.

                      Hi,
                      Yes, it's not any removable hdd/ssd, it's solder to motherboard.
                      I made another diagnostic test ( press power button and quickly press D until you see a menu "choose language").
                      Should I be worried about the SMC error or it's related with battery missing.
                      I will try another test with the battery connected.
                      Please see the picture

                          MacBook Pro 2018 with Activation Lock
                          by envym
                          Hi everyone!

                          I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (with Sequoia OS) that I've been using for years with no problem. I recently received an M2 MacBook Pro so I'm mostly using it and not the 2018 one, but since a friend of mine needs a computer, I thought I could restore my 2018 and give it brand-new-like to my friend.

                          I tried using the built-in tool to restore the MacBook (Settings > General > Transfer or restore > Delete) but it got stuck when trying to remove the Find Device configuration (it asked me for the password for my old Apple ID -now I use the same account but...

                          Macbook Air 2018 A1932 Bootloop
                          by Clarify4082
                          Hi,

                          I have a A1932 Macbook Air with Bootloop.

                          I already replaced the battery with a new one and reset NVRAM and SNC.
                          When I start the Macbook the Screen is coming on (no Logo) and switches of after a few seconds. If I start without the trackpad and keyboard it stays on longer.

                          If I use diagnostic (Option+D), recovery (Option+R) I always get the Apple logo and it go into online-Recovery. Even if I boot the installer from a USB-stick it ends up in online-recovery. Sometimes it crashed short after entering the wifi password, sometimes it loads the recovery...

                          Macbook Air - 2018 - A1932 - 820-01521-02 - Bootlooping if Power Button Connected
                          by reessi
                          Hello,

                          With the power button connected it either boot loops with the apple logo or no display but the charging meter shows it looping on charging every few seconds.

                          No corrosion any where!

                          Tried a replacement power button off ebay and the same.

                          Very occasionally it will work with the power button connected!

                          Same results with or without the battery.

                          Can it be a fault with the Audio board or the mainboard?

                          The touch Id assembly connects through the Audio board first then to the Mainboard.

                          MODEL: MacBook Air 2018 A1932 820-01521

                          Problem: 5.12V / 0.60Amps

                          History: Unknown but I can see slight liquid spill on IC U8201/74aup1t97gm

                          Things tried: I've cleaned the liquid area, removed the IC U8201/check pads, good/ chip looks good, put back. Replaced CD3215C x 2 times, so 4 new chips just in case. I've attached photo readings of V/resistance and signals as per logi wiki website. Please advise what I can check next. Schematics available upon request....
