    2019 macbook air cpu issue

    the heatsink was removed in order to clean the board in the ultrasonic cleaner. The original thermal padding is crumbling so I replaced the thermal padding with thermal paste but that doesn't seem to be adequate. any suggestions?

        MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
        by rounin
        Hi everyone,

        I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

        🛠 Original Issue
        The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
        Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

        I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

        ⚠️ New Problem: One USB-C Port Only Works in One Orientation...

        MacBook Pro 2019 820-01700 Speaker amp issue.
        by Gueric
        I have this MacBook Pro on my bench that I have already fixed, hard short on a SSD rail, but it also has another issue. the right speaker sound is either earrape, muffled or absent. Left one works perfect. I have tried replacing it, nothing changed so I'm pretty sure the issue is either motherboard related or maybe software but I doubt that.

        I don't how to troubleshoot speakers. Any help would be very much appreciated.

        A refurbisher and a repair shop have already been inside the laptop but I'm pretty sure none of them tried to do any soldering on the board.

        MacBook Pro 16" 2019 A2141 Issue (powers on)
        by Stephen
        Board powers on, holds charge it seems, track pad clicks, display is working etc. When trying to boot it turns itself off and then boots again and repeats. If it stays at GLOBE icon it will not turn off. Customer needs data, enabled THUNDERBOLT Mode, plugged in Thunderbolt cable, but error comes "THIS DISK CANNONT BE UNLOCKED DUE TO AN ERROR" I can't even input a password. Did a soft restore to retain data to see if it will solve any firmware issues. Nothing, I do not want to restore the computer because the customer needs the data, computer stays on completely when at Globe or...
