    Macbook air a1932 bootlooping after airport control

    Hi,

    once again I am here with problems with my macbook. After successful repair, when everything was working fine, I took my macbook air to the airport and flight with it in carry-on baggage. Firstly after landing it was working fine, but suddenly it shuted down and started bootlooping to the apple sign. I managed to run it normally throught SMC reset, but problem was going back untill SMC reset stopped working. Now Macbook is bootlooping in normal start, I can't go to recovery, I tried internet recovery, but after fully loaded download bar it switches off.

    I have no idea what to do now. NVRAM reset is not helping, battery removal is not helping also.
    I was thinking about new SMC? Or maybe hard disk just end its life...
    Not sure if it is connected somehow with airport control or flight, I know it shouldn't be, but it is what it is...

    My motherboard is 820-01521, maybe you will have some idea what to do? I would really appreciate any help, thanks.

      Try a USB media boot to rule out a corrupt OS.

          I tried to do bootable USB with MacOS, but I have only windows, so managed only to do EFI boot from OpenCore, which is seen by macbook as at the picture, but after choosing this boot device it is switching off and going bach to boot loop... Do you have any good advice how to do bootable USB with MacOS on Windows? Click image for larger version Name: 289029202_393486792816973_1734787703802714772_n.jpg Views: 1 Size: 220.0 KB ID: 2092086

                      Ok, so I managed to do USB installer on other macbook, but it is still bootlooping after trying to boot from USB Any other ideas what should be checked? Now I think this is hardware issue...

                          Welp.. X-ray could damage flash memory, but its too rare case. Does it bootloop with ssd removed?

                              Try DFU Restore:

                                  There is no removable SSD disk, so I can't check that. I also don't have another macbook so DFU Restore is not an option for me also...

                                      Hello,

                                      With the power button connected it either boot loops with the apple logo or no display but the charging meter shows it looping on charging every few seconds.

                                      No corrosion any where!

                                      Tried a replacement power button off ebay and the same.

                                      Very occasionally it will work with the power button connected!

                                      Same results with or without the battery.

                                      Can it be a fault with the Audio board or the mainboard?

                                      The touch Id assembly connects through the Audio board first then to the Mainboard.

                                      Hi, I've never worked with a MacBook before, so I need some advice.
                                      I have a MacBook Air A1932 (820-01521). When I plugged in the charger with an amp meter, it showed 19.7V and 1.9A, which indicates that it's charging, but when I press the power button, it doesn't turn on. So, I disassembled it, disconnected the battery, and plugged in the charger again. It showed 19.6V and 0.04A, and pressing the power button had no effect—no current draw at all. Then, I removed the motherboard, connected the charger again, and got the same results. I took a multimeter and checked all the coils, and everything...

                                      by astroboypaul
                                      Macbook A1932 had completely dead keyboard. I found liquid damage on circuitry on keyboard itself, and repaired it by replacing what i think was a 10k 0201 resistor (here's my post requesting schematic for keyboard circuitry where I included a photo of the resistor: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubl...ic-820-01294-a)
                                      Now most of the keyboard works and I can login, but the following keys don't work: Delete, "/', left...
