    A1708 820-00840 won't turn on after battery replacement

    this macbook had had liquid damage, i replaced trackpad connector, i also changed efi chip, battery was dead and put in a new one. Today I connected the battery without fixing with double sided tape, I switched it on and everything went smoothly. Before turning off I deactivated autoboot with a command from the terminal. I turned off, I unplugged the battery, I reconnected everything and now it does not turn on anymore. When I connect the charger it has a normal current draw and 20v, the symbol of the charged battery appears for a moment and then nothing, dead. It does the same thing if I close and reopen the lid, for a moment just the battery symbol.
    What can I do? all this is very strange .....

    D6950 - measure the voltage on this component.

    Post the readings of pin #1 to ground; pin # 2 to ground.

        solved, I bought a bios chip already programmed, it worked for a day, I got one from another logic board and now everything works !!
        I don't know if the terminal command "sudo nvram AutoBoot =% 00"
        may have created some problem with the bios chip.

          With Intel machines, you can't swap a EFI chip without first cleaning the ME region. Dirrty ME usually results in a slow boot, weird fan speeds etc.

            thanks for the information, I don't have a chip programmer, I would like to buy one, even for newer macbooks, which programmer do you suggest?
            At the moment the macbook seems to be doing very well, very fast start-up, fans under control, perfect battery !!

              Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
              by Bowline
              My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

              Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

              My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
              The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
              I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

              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....

              Asus VivoBook F510UA-AH51 won't run on battery after motherboard replacement
              by dhenion
              I'm working on my sister's laptop: Asus VivoBook F510UA-AH51 - The motherboard died so I replaced it.

              The original board was:
              ASUS X510UNR REV 3.0 A

              The replacement board is:
              ASUS X510UNR REV 3.0 B (identical except B vs A - I couldn't find an A board anywhere. Visually they are identical.)

              It boots right up on the replaced motherboard and everything works fine on the new motherboard - but it won't run off battery. When I disconnect the charger it immediately dies. When I plug it back in and reboot the system - it still shows the battery at...

              by PITERPENY
              brought in a working MacBook for battery replacement (swelled up). After replacing the battery it stopped turning on. tried connecting the old battery without changes. consumption with the battery connected and without the battery is the same 5v\0.200a on all 4 ports. replacing 9239 did not help
