    Macbook air a1932 not working with audio board connected

    Hi,

    I have macbook air a1932 2018 and it has water damage. Audio connector on motherboard was burned on PPBUS_G3H signal. Without this audio board laptop is working perfectly fine, but of course without sound and touch ID. I changed burned connector, flex cable and audio board. But connecting this all, Mac is not starting, nothing on thermal camera... Do you know what other can be damaged on this signal what can cause this behaviour? Nothing on motherboard looks burned...

              1) 820-01521 ?

              2) See attached. Remove all power. Remove the audio board and check the resistance to ground of each of the I2C lines linked to the audio circuits.

              Use the lowest resistance scale on your meter. If you see '1' then switch to the next higher scale on your meter till you have a reading.

              Post the measurement & scale used on your meter.

              3) Still with no power, attach the audio board. Then check the resistance to ground again of the same I2C lines.

              Perhaps the I2C lines are being strapped by the audio board and causing the host logic board to enter a blocked state and preventing a proper boot.

                  1. yes, sorry about that
                  2. I started to check them and all of them was about 12.5kohm, but it gives me idea to check resistance of PPBUS_G3H, what turns out is shorted to GND... It is now working with another audio board (old one, it turns out that new one has shorted capacitor...) Now I don't have sound in right speaker, but probably it is because on wrongly ironed connector... I can see that with board all of I2C signals has 11.5kohm but R_SDA not, so I assume there is a problem.Thanks for your help

                      Very good. It should be fairly quick to locate the shorted cap - maybe there are only a few on this audio board and you can remove one at a time to locate the bad one.

                      Use flux to clean up the connector pins and then IPA (alcohol) to remove the excess flux. Looks like you are close to fixing this case.

                          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 2337 - Right I/O Board Audio IC - Alternative Replacement?
                          by grimacelord
                          Hello,

                          I'm working on a MacBook Air A2337 that had liquid damage on the right I/O board. I ultrasonic cleaned the board and it all functions except the computer has no audio. I tried reballing the audio IC which is TAS5770AC0, but that did not restore audio. I could just replace the entire board, but I wanted to see if replacing the audio IC would fix it first. Mouser has a similar audio IC in stock which is TAS5770LC0YFFR, but I wasn't sure if it is compatible. I was just wondering if anyone knew if I could use the one from mouser as an acceptable replacement or if I need to purchase...

                          Hi, this is my personal laptop, which the original board (lets call it Board A) blew up PU8700 (TPS51486), making a hole on the board, i had left the laptop at my desk one day with the battery fully charged and didn't touch it for a week, but when i tried to turn it on it didn't
                          Thought the battery was dead, so i plugged in the charger then tried to power on, the power LED blinked once, charged LED still orange, unplugged the charger, plugged in again and I noticed the "magic smoke" smell, so i unplugged the charger, removed the back cover and saw the blown IC (the "magic...

                          Macbook 820-02773 Board short when trackpad connected
                          by MalodicOne
                          Original fault was customer spilled milk on unit, no corrosion was found on the board. Took mainboard out of original case and LCD and swapped it into the fully functioning case and LCD.

                          Shorts show up all over the board when trackpad is connected only. Trackpad is used and fully functioning from another unit of same model. Voltage injection causes trackpad connector to get hot but nothing else, swapped on board connector to rule that out, same issue. Diode reading on IPD_MCU_INT_CONN is higher then reference board @ .935 expected is .803. Shorts show up on PPVBAT_AON_CHGR_REG and...

                          MacBook Air M1 audio jack board
                          by nuclearfu
                          Hello everyone,

                          I'm looking for the schematics and board views for the MacBook Air M1, specifically for the audio jack board. My own device has suffered water damage, and I need detailed diagrams to assist with the repair process. Does anyone have these schematics or know where I can find them?

                          Thank you in advance for your help!​
