        Touch ID and Truetone are not related to the serial # in bin file.

                  Hello guys, i was reading the other days about an unlocking method for A1990 with low bridge. I have iBridge 2,3 (and version 5,3..i don t know whats that) acording to checkm8. Does anybody knows a cheaper software unlocking A1990, i would prefer not to spend 100 USD with them unless i have no other option. Thank you!!

                    No longer available, nor you will be able to find anything interesting.
                    The only person i know that knows a little bit more is Stephen ..

                      No there isn't and if you search a little bit more you will see it's not an unlock it's a bypass with checkm8 . It means that you will pay the money and you will be only to "open" the account/system ,if you will need any erasure in the future or restore factory etc. you will need to unlock it again.

                      There isn't still any vaiable option to do it.

                        Yes, i know it s a bypass with checkm8, mina, hfz, etc..I wrote in a hurry, however some posts i can t acces, especially the threas where mr Stephen moved the discussion about T2 chip. I m ok with a bypass also and we wait for a future solution.

                          I find it interesting that even with a bypass, where you have full access to the MacBook, yet still can't remove the previous owner details.

                            I understand what you are saying. But ,same goes here. I'm still with a "laptop" that is with locked icloud .Not even bypassed.

                              But this is great news now that we can read who the previous owner was. With that being a thing we can now have permanent removal by reaching out to those individuals.
                              Legend, do you have any update on that matter ?
                              I am still trying to figure out a way

                                      Apple A1990 / Board number: 820-01041
                                      by RWS93
                                      Brand: Apple
                                      Model: A1990
                                      Board number: 820-01041


                                      Problem: I am not an Apple kind of guy to start with. But I am quite experienced with motherboard repairs in general. So the laptop is stuck with 5v 0.250A and does not negotiate 20v. Same symptom on all 4 USB C ports. When charger is plugged the amps start at around 0.060 then go trough: 0.100 - 0.180 - 0.230 - 0.244 and stay like this. Laptop responds to the power button: once I hold it long enough current goes down to 0.060A and then up to previous levels.

                                      Board clean, no liquid damage, no corrosion....

                                      I have changes the keyboard and the touch id. on 14 inch Apple M1 A2442,
                                      "option stuck "

                                      It did not help because the lady was playing intensive games on the laptop : The issue with the Option (Alt) key is related to the Mac’s HID system (Human Interface Device), which manages how macOS receives input from the internal keyboard.

                                      The Option key is not physically stuck. Due to intensive use of the Option key during gaming, the internal keyboard sometimes sends an incomplete input signal, causing macOS to think the Option key is still being pressed....

                                      I dont find any short in coils for it and it looks like there are voltages

                                      Any hint or bad T2 is common on this boards?
