    How to Clean ME Region MacBook Air A1466

    Hi all, want to ask what is the best way to clean the ME region. I need to clean the ME region for a Apple MacBook Air A1466 (Logic Board 820-00165-A). Do I have to remove the SPI BIOS physically (Remove from the logic board) & re-flash the BIOS with clean flash Bin files rather than using the on-board service connector? & if possible can some one send me the link or clean file to re-program this BIOS for this MacBook Air A1466 model? Thanks all in advance.

      Will I have a bricked logic board after reflow of the GPU v-core U8900 chip on my Mid-2012 15" Retina Macbook pro?
      by korben_dallas
      Hi everyone! I'm trying to fix my black screen / failed U8900 GPU v-core on my Mid-2012 Macbook Pro 15" Retinaby doing a rework/reflow of the chip (once I determine that's the real issue; but it likely is).

      I've been disabling the GPU in NVRAM for a few years... but it's just time for a better solution.

      I'm new to soldering but the only feasible way to fix this issue is to do something myself.

      MY QUESTION:
      I've been seeing some people (on this forum mostly) run into issues with the logic board needing a serial number or it being deactivated (?)...

      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?...

      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 Air A1466 does not turn on from keyb ON/OFF button
      by mferna14
      Dear buddies., working on a MacBook Air A1466 (Logic Board 820-00165-A 2017). The logic board turns on fine (This is all done without battery) & the Magsafe jack is lit to orange. I boot it up to OS. Once I shut it down, it does not turn on again unless I remove the magsafe 2 jack & put it back again. There is no liquid spill & the voltages seem to be fine. I re-build a new BIOS & CleanME region done, but the problem still exsist. Once shut down, does not turn on from the keyb power ON/OFF button. I put in a new keyboard & the MagSafe/Audio board & a new flex cable too,...

      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)

      Pictures below of Boardview and schematic...

      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...
