    MacBook Air 13" 2015 A1466 EMC 2529 Wont turn on

    Hello!
    Im working on a 820-00165. Its reach PM_SLP_S5_L and its pulsing two times than nothing. After that PP3V3_S4 stays at 0.3V. With SMC bypass the fan spinning for two short times than nothing. It was in another shop (yaay) the original problem was liquid damage around U6100, U7400, U7600, Q8150 and U1950. I replaced everything to be sure its not screwed up from another shop. Even replaced U6100 too to a known good clean one. I created a jumper from R8185 pin 2 to R8167 pin 1. (It was a broken trace) I didn't find any short to gnd on lower levels (S4 - S0) Also replaced U5000, cos they worked on it too. I was not sure if its ok.

    Any idea? Usually i think its a pch problem (where pp3v3_s4 stays at crazy V), but i'd like to be sure.

    Thanks! : )

    Need BIOS/EFI dump for MacBook Air A1466 2015 EMC 2925 (8gb)
    by yura8
    Hi there! I have not so usual situation...

    I have 2015 MacBook Air A1466 EMC 2925 with 8Gb of RAM. It seams that I've killed it by bad SSD adapter. It starts, cooler works... But no chime, screen is black. SMC reset seams works, NVRAM reset doesnt works...

    My repair guy has checked all possible. It's all ok with power. The last idea - I could kill EFI firmware... So, I need a firmware of EFI to check it. I have a programmer. But I don't have a similar laptop now to download it and compare

    P.S. If you have else any ideas about repair, or you had a similar...

    Macbook air 2015 - A1466 - PM_SLP_S5_L is 3.1v good?
    by dicorato
    Hi,

    I'm trying to diagnose this a1466 board, I'm pretty new with this, but I checked the signals up until PM_SLP_S5_L, which is at 3.1v. Is it a valid level for this signal?

    Macbook Air A1466 820-3437-B Booting Problem
    by psdavid65
    I received a 2013 Macbook Air A1466 820-3437-B motherboard with serial number C02L6GQ9FSV8 that came in WITHOUT a bios chip. I got a new bios chip and reprogrammed it. Macbook now powers on but doesn't boot the SSD. I've flashed a ton of bios but still same problem. Windows installation works with this Macbook but never a mac installation. Unfortunately, since I didn't receive this macbook with a bios chip, I don't have the original bios. What can I do now?...

    Macbook Pro mid 2015 battery required to boot?
    by twonk9098
    I have read many forums that state the Macbook Pro 2015 needs / does not need a battery to boot. I'm not convinced as yet which is correct.
    The Macbook Pro mid 2015 I have has no battery and do not really want to buy one just to test.
    This model has the newer trackpad which is not clickable when turned off.
    At the moment, without battery it does turn on with no display (with backlight), no chime and then turns off after 13 seconds. I see this from the power draw on my DTPS.
    If I hold the power button whilst connecting the magsafe 2 charger it turns on, again no image but...

    MacBook Air A1466 2015 no Power on
    by Strolch
    I have a MacBook Air 2015 2.2GHz i7 A1466 820-00165-A. It had worked normally. Now it doesn't start anymore. When Magsafe is plugged in, the LED will turn solid green and then orange. I can also do an SMC reset. But you can't turn it on.
