    this glitch gives me a headache (macbook a2179)

    I have a macbook a2179 that does not turn on or something like that, when connecting it to the source it has an amperage consumption as if it were in dfu, ppbus, pp3v3 and pp5v_g3s they exist but after a few seconds the consumption drops.
    first it is 5v, then 1.8v then 3v and then 0v.
    It just does it all the time.
    the weird thing is that the nand memories and the t2 chip as well as the pp5v_g3s coil get moderately hot.
    Anyone have an idea what I can do

      MacBook A2179 Audio board+Power button boardview & schematic needed
      by Darren Hibbert
      Hi.

      Long shot but does anyone have a schematic & boardview for the audio board+power button on a Macbook A2179?

      There is a shorted cap on mine and I need to know if I can safely remove it or whether I need to replace it and with what capacitor.

      Many thanks. ...

      Macbook Air 2020 A2179 Internet Recovery and Battery Issues
      by cheebster
      Hello, i have a batch of 10 Macbook Pros A2179 bought from a Costco return wholesaler.


      The 10 of them show the exact same behavior;

      They auto power on, to internet recovery spinning globe, fans to 100%.

      Power consumption on USB-C port is 0.43a, shuts down as soon as unplugged. Battery doesn't charge at all. However, it boots to 20V on the Ampmeter.

      Based on their iBridge versions (4.x and 5.x) these were shelfed for a long time.

      All of them power on the same way; 100% fans, shut down as soon as they are unplugged. Removing...

      A2179 Macbook Air turns ON and works normally with a battery but it is not charging
      by CAPTGENE
      I have similar a similar issue. My A2179 Macbook Air turns ON and works normally with a battery but it is not charging. With the USC-C alone it takes 20V but only 100mA, PPBUS is 12.3Volts, and wont turn ON.

      I replaced U7000 twice with the same result. not charging!

      Whats should I check or replace?

      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 2020 A2179 820-01958 battery problem?
      by sdogs
      Hi everyone,
      I have a MacBook Air A2179 in my hands that had power problems (5V to the USB-C port intermittently).
      After a first inspection I could see that the D3302 protection IC was burnt out, so I replaced it but the problem was not solved, it seems like intermittent 5v input.
      I then replaced the two u3200s (CD3217B12ACE) and now I have stable 20 volts and the macbook has turned back on.
      Unfortunately I have a further problem, it works very slowly and the fan runs at maximum and if I disconnect the charger it turns off, it's as if the battery was disconnected.
