    Macbook A2338 820-02020

    Received a dead Macbook A2338 820-02020.
    Voltage on PPBUSG3H_AON IS .5 Volts.

    Can anyone here guide where to start looking for short or faulty components.

    Remove all power. Measure the resistance to ground of the rail you deem to be low. Checking for shorted caps.

      You mean PPBUs_AON

          It is very important to use only the full netnames from the schematic so we can follow the signals.

          Yes, PPBUS_AON which is too low.

          What is the exact resistance on this rail to ground ? No power -> meter in resistance mode (not diode mode). Post the reading and the scale used on your meter.

          With the adapter connected to the logic board -> check if you have a voltage on pin # 1 of the fuse @ F5200. It is possible that the fuse is blown.

          What is the input voltage for this buck / boost regulator @ U5200 (measure PPDCIN_USBC_AON) ?

            macbook pro M1 a2338 no video on internal display PP3V3_S2 short

            Greetings to the entire forum, I ask you for help because I'm going crazy. A dear friend of mine gave me a macbook pro M1 A2338 that only works with an external screen. With the internal one, no backlight or image. Only the external display is detected from the system settings.
            First I changed the display flat, then I made a backup with time machine and tried a reset in dfu but nothing to do, always the same problem.
            I analyzed the logic board, it shows no sign of liquid or visible damage. I then moved on to examine the logic with the thermal camera and found that the UP701 chip was...

            MacBook Pro A2338 [820-02773] No Audio (Speakers and Microphone)
            by classicandy
            Hi Everyone,

            Please, I have a MacBook Pro A2338 M2, board number : 820-02773. The speakers and the microphone of the Mac are not working and I need assistance in fixing.

            UR730 got damaged and short-circuited the motherboard. After removing the shortened IC; before and after putting the new one I ordered, the speakers [specifically the other one not affected by this IC] and the microphone are still not working. I do have sound through a Bluetooth speaker device or when I connect a headphone with microphone to the jack 3.5mm input. Also, media files do not play unless ​a...

When I received it however I found that it was also missing the wifi and bluetooth antenna along with most of the screws hardware. it was also showing picture on the LCD but no backlight, I could also see some lines on the screen indicating the lcd was also somewhat damaged. on top...

            MacBook Pro M2 A2338 with PowerSupply it is running, "X" on the battery symbol and FAN is running permanently
            by Schluchti45
            I have a MacBook Pro A2338 M2. The MacBook runs with the power supply unit. The fan runs permanently and the battery shows the message “Service recommended”.
            I have already replaced the battery with a new one, but this has not helped. I have also tried DFU and the system restored the error remains the same.
            Do any of you have any ideas where I could look or how I should proceed here?...
