Macbook Air A1466

08-05-2024, 03:15 AM

Greetings,
kindly I need some help.
On a working motherboard of an A1466 emc 2632 MD760LL/B, I replaced the efi eeprom with one purchased on ebay. When I did this operation I didn't have an adapter to read the contents of the memory, so I got one already programmed.
Unfortunately now the MacBook doesn't turn on anymore and when I connect the Magsafe the charging LED doesn't turn on.
Has this ever happened to anyone? Could it be due to the contents of the chip or how I soldered it?
Thank you

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 A1466 dies when charger disconnected

by echothegamer

Hello all,

Working on my wife's 13' Macbook air. It's been in a box since she upgraded but I figured it could be good practice.

Details:
Macbook 13' A1466
Board (820-3209-A)
Battery OEM 7.3v 50Wh 6700 mAh (020-7379-A)

I don't know how to test the voltage on a MacBook battery. I just assumed it had an enable pin but the best I could read was 300 something mV poking around the battery connector.

It's an older model and it is very likely that battery has become...

Macbook A1466 820-00165A heavy water damage but working with "flashing" screen

by dbuergi

Hi all,

i got a A1466 with serious water damage. I was able to clean the whole board and only found a fuse with a coroded trace. Cleaning and resoldering did the job and the macbook started normal but after some time the screen began "flashing" like turning on and off while the Macbook was still running. I checked the board again but was not able to find the problem until now.
Any ideas where to look?...

by Sergio Kub

Could someone help me?
I have a Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 - 2017, board 820-00165 and sometimes the boot interrupts with an image of a folder and a question mark.
Could it be the BIOS?
