    can the wifi chip (u3700) be replaced on 820-01521 without an issue? or does it have to be reenabled or something?

    MacBook Pro 2018 - A1990 Dead - not charging - only 5V
    by robka
    Hi,

    my MacBook Pro 15" 2018 Touch Bar (A1990) doesn't charge anymore. Board# 820-01041-A

    I'm not experienced in diagnostics, but I want to try to solve the problem with your help, because every local shop charges around 600€ (650 usd). Which is the value of the whole Macbook.

    The Macbook was charging when suddenly the "charging sound" appeared every other second for around 4-5 times.
    After that the Macbook was dead. It isn't charging anymore.

    MacBook A2681 (Board 820-02862) - UP700 Likely Shorted
    by Dylan Jones
    Hi all,
    I'm a beginner at laptop repair. I bought a MacBook Air A2681 that doesn’t turn on, just for practice. PPBUS_AON and the other always-on voltages are present and look fine. I did some diode mode measurements and got unusual readings (compared to reference values I found online) on LC320 (44mV) and L82D0 (40mV). LC320 corresponds to the PP5V_S2 power rail, and L82D0 to PP1V25_S2.

    I injected 1V (current limited to 100mA, the board consumed around 86mA) into PP1V25_S2 to see if anything would heat up, but everything seemed normal. I did the same with 5V (current limited...

    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...
