    Macbook Pro A1989 (Touchbar), 820-00850-A, 20V 0A, Not Charging

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook Pro A1989 that had liquid spilled on a thunderbolt hub that was plugged into one of the USB-C ports. The laptop will now no longer charge.

    Hitting the power button displays the low battery icon and then goes off.
    Power meter shows 20V drawing 0A. The same voltage displayed and amperage drawing on all 4 ports. Since the board is relatively cheap on this model, is there anyway to force charge the battery or run the board with a DC power supply to simulate the battery to retrieve the data?

    Thanks.

          Macbook Pro A1989 fallen, reboots if touchbar connected
          by modtool
          Hi to all,
          the owner of this macbook brought it to me after a fall, that hit the upper right corner of the top case.
          Luckily enough, the screen and all other parts of the machine haven't been damaged, only the touch bar wasn't lighting up anymore, and the macbook began to behave strangely, because it seems to start and work fine but suddendly it shutsdown (and at the same time the fans make a high rotation for half a second, as if an animal was annoyed by something...) at random times, sometimes after 2 minutes, sometimes after 5 minutes, but never over 10 minutes, then restarts...

          Macbook Pro 13 2019 A1989 touchbar cable capacitor value
          by flusher
          Got this waterdamaged where oxidation happened under shield on touchbar cable. It showed image but no touch. After I cleaned and resoldered everything except ic (it is sealed anyway) i am getting touches however i find it a bit hit n miss where it works but sometimes missing dragging. Tapping seems fine. I think it might be something to do with this big cap which might be LDO or something. I placed 10v 2.2uF cap there. Anyone could measure it from good/dead touch bar lying around ?...

          ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
          by flat-earther
          The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

          Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

          This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
          Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
          If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...

          MacBook Air M1 A2337 battery/charging issue
          by drlarsen
          Hello. Sorry for the long post, but I am trying to decide if this is a simple battery replacement, or potentially something more complicated.

          I bought an open box MacBook Air M1 2020 A2337. Seller claimed it was never used. Visually, it appears pristine.

          On arrival, the battery was completely flat. Computer powers up and boots fine. Battery status showing 1% and charging, 1 cycle. coconutBattery showing 0 mAh and ~6 watts.
          After some hours, the battery status did not improve. Restore via DFU did not help.

          I connected the power adapter to a Kill-a-Watt...

          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.

          The USB-C Port where the charger was plugged is burned. Also The Cable and the...
