    A1932 boot problem

    Hi
    I have in for repair a very confusing a1932 late 2018 MacBook Air board number 820-01521-a
    The device will not boot in to operating system just freezes on the progress bar with the fan spinning on high but the board is not getting hot.
    Tried new fan, trackpad and keyboard, new screen.
    Getting 20v 0.200 on charger no shorts on the board no liquid anywhere.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    tried resetting PRAM/SMC?
    if that fails, perhaps a DFU review would cure your issue

      Boot into diagnostics (D on startup) and report back. Fan running high speed usually means missing sensor data and the CPU is throttled to slowest speed.

        i have the same issue all is okay and booting normally but to slow performance
        i try diagnostic and get noting all is okay

        i try replace charging ic since my mac is not charging battery and give this notification in os (battery not charging)

        ant suggestion .

          Do a SMC bypass upon boot to check if the unit boots faster.

          Is the battery a known good battery?

              1) What is the history of the battery ? Is it a known good battery ?

              2) Is the logic board # 820-01521-a ?

              3) See attached.

              Remove all power - no battery / no adapter.

              Meter in resistance mode (start with the lowest scale).

              Check the resistance to GROUND -> pin # 3 to ground; pin # 4 to ground of the battery connector.

              We are checking for the status of the ESD diodes which are often used on the battery connector to protect the I2C / SMBUS communication lines. ESD transients often kill one or both of these diodes which will shunt the communication between the BMS module inside the battery back and the I2C / SMBUS bus master IC. Results in the battery not being detected.

              This is assuming the connector itself is not faulty.

                i measure these lines and positive line all is okay ,knowing that without battery laptop have slow performance

                  Do post the requested answers and measurements. We cannot guess the values of your logic board.

                  Review the many questions above and answer each to move forward in the review.

                    i try diagnostic and all is okay except battery not detected
                    you mean if mac powered on without battery then it will not works properly
                    and it will have slow performance

                        1) nothing was attached.

                        2) measure and post the voltage values on D6950 with the battery connected. Also attach the power adapter.

                          Dell optiplex 7090 boot problem
                          by mpower1226
                          Hi masters, need your help in solving this mystery.

                          i have a dell optiplex 7090 micro that i bought from local kijiji.

                          when i turn it on, error comes out saying no hard disk.
                          i go to bios to check the boot option, only httpboot shows. If i try to add boot option, it only shows file search but nothing happens when i click.

                          i took out the ssd and put it into old laptop and format and installed the windows 10 and put it back into the desktop. It boots up and same error again no hard disk.
                          it seems as if the computer doesnt recognize the ssd...

                          HP Z620 boot from NVME problem
                          by litsnsirn
                          I have been trying to build myself up a Z620 workstation for a while now, and I think I finally have all of the parts that I need and this is giving me gout. It's my understanding that that as long as you have the newest firmware, one is supposed to be able to boot from a NVME drive in a Z620 workstation.

                          There are lots of different posts across the internet and they don't all seem to agree with one another and a lot have old, outdated information.

                          I have the official Z-Turbo adapter cards; I've tried a HP branded Samsung SM951, as well as a couple of other drives...

                          Nintendo Switch Oled HEG-001: Second-Stage Boot Failure
                          by privato89
                          Hello everyone,

                          I'm facing an issue with a HEG-001 motherboard that is unable to complete the Second-Stage Boot. I'd like to start directly with my conclusion, which is the decision to replace the MAX77621AEWI chip, and understand if it could be a correct evaluation.

                          Before I dive into the process that led me to this decision, I want to mention that I have a fully equipped lab where I can perform any kind of tests.

                          Let's begin:

                          Following some guides online, I tried to understand how the Boot phase of the Nintendo Switch works, and what are the...

                          MSI GL63 (Board 16P51, Rev 1) Laptop - Boot Problem
                          by rxyzm
                          I am working on MSI GL63 that also has 16P51 (Rev 1, I think) board.

                          This is gaming laptop.

                          Last few weeks, I have been noticing following symptoms -

                          1. When the laptop is switched on, the power button shows blue light for a long time. The machine may or may not boot after the time. (Usually, when the power switch is pressed, it would show blue light for couple of seconds. After that, the keyboard LEDs (RED Color) turn on and the power switch shows red light, machine boots)

                          2. The laptop may try to boot by doing power cycling 3, 4, 5,...
