    Hi, I' ve this MacBook Air with a strange problem. This laptop come in to my shop with initial problem PULSING (ON/OFF, no fan)

    I wrote this attached bios dump that I clean me region by ME INJECT software and Macbook Power on but have a strange defect.

    The Macbook Power on only when I connect the AC adapter without battery. It Never power on by clicking power key on keyboard. I also tryed to power on by SMCbypass on the motherboard.

    When Macbook is ON and I press ON/OFF key the macbook go off without problem

    I tryed to clean me region using FIT but I can't find efi payload for this model MBA7,2.

    Did you make a bios backup before you started ? .MEInject isn`t recommended for anything over ME 6 in my opinion,and certainly shouldn`t be used with apple ME fw . Post the original bios backup

      What was pulsing on / off?

      Please post more details.

      Very possible that you have a defective battery.

      Restore your bios and post your voltage rail that is pulsing.

                            Can you tell me if this EFI is specific to the 2017 EMC 3178 or is this for any 820-00165 board? I have an EFI ROM file from a 2015 board and it doesn't start up on my 2017 board. I have heard that the EFI for this model is specific to the 2017. Can someone confirm this either way?

                              if you have the same board, change the Serial Number S / N, and clean the region me, and do the test, don't forget to do before writing on the chip, a backup of the original bios of the laptop.

                                          Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 missing power and liquid damaged
                                          by BMCappelletti
                                          Hi everyone.
                                          Macbook Air A1466 EMC 3178 (board 820-00165 A) not turning on and no charging light. Completely dead. With no battery connected it would power up and I could hear the chime, but nothing on the screen and then a sudden turn off. Sometimes during the chime. Opened it up and found some liquid damage. The flat that connects both boards has damage in one side (with a missing pin already). The connectors on the boards are fine, though.
                                          Also, there was liquid damage on the included picture area, which are R8111 and C8111. A quick and soft brush on it made the resistor be gone....

                                          MacBook Air A1466 2017 Operating Very Slow
                                          by ACS-Repair
                                          I'm hoping someone can help me with a 2017 MacBook Air A1466 820-00165 that is running very slow. This is a board that I picked up on ebay recently.
                                          This is not being caused by a sensor issue. All sensors report normal operation and the fans run at normal speed. Geekbench gives me a single core CPU value of 124, when it should be closer to 400. I was unable to complete an install on the SSD without putting it into a different computer first.
                                          The board appears clean with no sign of liquid damage. I have done a PRAM and SMC reset, and I have done a reflow of the SMC. I have inspected...

                                          MacBook Air (2017, A1466, No power/orange-green light on)

                                          I have a 13 inch MacBook Air 2017 that does not show any life, however, there is activity from the MagSafe light going from green to orange and staying. Normally, this battery works perfectly fine and it can actually charge the battery as if I were to leave it alone it would change to just green, however, this thing does not boot up at all, I was told the computer was at 30% and then it randomly shut off.

                                          Some voltages:
                                          PPBUS_G3H - 8.5V
                                          SMC_PM_G2_EN - 3.42V
                                          PP3V3_S5 - 3.32V
                                          PP3V42_G3H - 3.42V
                                          PPDCIN_G3H - 15.18V
                                          PP5V_S5 - 5.04V
                                          PP3V3_S5_REG_R...

                                          Macbook a1707 2017 model 820-00928 GPU issue

                                          Hello there

                                          I have problem with Macbook Pro 15" 2017, model 2017, MB code 820-00928.

                                          I bought it as broken with some artefacts on the screen, first I thought that this is problem with ribbon cable but after inspectiing ribbon cable I know it is fine. I tried to reinstall macOs and then I figured out that this must be something with GPU as installation freezes at the end (when drivers are loaded). I installed Windows and was able to install every each of drivers except GPU driver, as soon as I tried to install GPU driver - black screen and restart.

                                          ...
