    You have to compress the file to .rar or .zip for an example then upload it here.

              Are you sure? Have you tried to flash back the original BIOS and see if it works or not?
              About the Serial Number I have already changed it.

                  The file that I gave to you must works fine, I haven't done anything except changing the Serial Number.

                      M1 A2337 Macbook - No Display, likely due to logic board
                      by ledbylight
                      Hi all!
                      This is my first post and also one of my first "deep dives" into electronic repair. I'm used to doing basic tasks with computers, like SSD/CPU replacement, thermal past re-application, etc. So here's the story...
                      I have a MacBook Air M1 that I bought to repair (I know, I'm weird; though I'm a CompSci major and want to learn more , and it will not display anything on the internal display. I have verified that there's no backlight, as I booted the laptop and shined a flashlight on it and there's no display; it does completely boot up, and shows fine on an external...

                      MacBook Pro A1708 820-00840 stuck @ 5V, no power, no charging
                      by EpicFix
                      Hey guys, I need a little help here. I have a MacBook Pro A1708 820-00840 stuck @ 5V. Started off affecting just one port but now it's affecting both. Both CD3215 ics were replaced but the issue remains. One port does a loop and the other stays at a constant 5V. Both CD3215 have 3V incoming. I checked for PP3V3_G3H @ R3000, C3100 and C3108, R3001, C3200 and C3208. The weird thing is though that the ammeter shows the current draw (5V @ 0.5A) coming out from the port as opposed to it going in. Any ideas on helping me fix this?

                      A2681 M2 MacBook Air Dead Logic Board
                      by yuuki47
                      Hello...

                      My sister purchased an M2 MacBook Air a year and a half ago. While she was using it a week ago, it randomly shut off and no longer powers on. There are no signs of life and not even the MagSafe indicator LED lights up.

                      We took it to Apple and they disconnected the battery and tried a bunch of stuff before they declared the logic board "brain dead" and quoted us about £567 to replace it. Typical of them...

                      eBay replacements run about £367 with the Touch ID sensor included.

                      I did consider to probe the logic board for shorts...

                      MacBook Pro 2018 with Activation Lock
                      by envym
                      Hi everyone!

                      I have a 2018 MacBook Pro (with Sequoia OS) that I've been using for years with no problem. I recently received an M2 MacBook Pro so I'm mostly using it and not the 2018 one, but since a friend of mine needs a computer, I thought I could restore my 2018 and give it brand-new-like to my friend.

                      I tried using the built-in tool to restore the MacBook (Settings > General > Transfer or restore > Delete) but it got stuck when trying to remove the Find Device configuration (it asked me for the password for my old Apple ID -now I use the same account but...

                      by AlexVG
                      Hi everybody

                      I have Macbook A1708 820-00840
                      It goes through all steps to start
                      exclude last steps power PPVCCCPU_S0G and PPVCCGT_S0G

                      Besides, no exchange on
                      CPU_VIDSCLK
                      CPU_VIDSOUT

                      However CPU_PWRGD is OK
                      CPU_PROCHOT is down.

                      I replaced SPI dump from here:
