Good Morning. (Where I am anyway.) Have Macbook Air 1398 with 820-00138-A with liquid damage. Does anyone have schematic and boardview for this board. Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: 820-00138-a A1398
I'm working on a 820-00138-A board that was liquid damaged.
It's booting but goes into panic-mode (loud fans) and the cpu and ram is getting very hot.
I have 19,6V on PPBUS_G3H, this is too much, it should be 12v.
Does anyone has any idea what I can do next?
Thank youComment

Shorted high side MOSFET for the PPBUS_G3H buck converter, so you get the DC in voltage on PPBUS_G3H.OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardViewComment

Re: 820-00138-a A1398
Thanks but the board view you provide is a bit different than 820-00138-A board I have and the tracks doesn't match, in special ti the SSD control IC's side. Does anyone has the correct brd for this board please. Thanks in advance.Comment

Re: 820-00138-a A1398
Schematics in this thread is the correct one. The touchpad connector J4801 in the schematics is wrong though, use 820-00163 schematics for the proper pinout.
The boardview in this thread is for 820-3662, it looks similar to 820-00138 but the SPI ROM and touchpad area are different. Use 820-00163 again to troubleshoot touchpad area.
The correct 820-00138 boardview may be available, but I haven't seen it yet. Most websites sell the 820-3662 but labelled 820-00138, be aware of this scam… (same for 820-3536 sold as 820-3476, 820-00163 sold as 820-00426 and maybe some others)OpenBoardView — https://github.com/OpenBoardView/OpenBoardViewComment

by questoreSomeone brought me a liquid metal damaged motherboard.
First I have removed alll liquid metal from the board.
0,75V_ALW was burned, and had to be removed and I have separated the layers until no short was on the VIN (B+) line and the output is no longer shorted.
Applying 0,77V on the output with my lab PSU make the laptop caming on and i running windows from USB drive SSD
There are 2 things that not working.
1. The WIFI card keeps turning off and on with an error code 43 and 10 abouth every 10 seconds
2. nvme devices are not detected on either of the 2 slots.... -
by silver60618Hi all, Im working on a board, that my customer brought to another shop, and smeared liquid metal all over the board.
The laptop powers on, then shuts off. I noticed traces of Liquid Metal near the edge of the CPU, but I fear some maybe underneath.
Has anyone ever tried Ultrasonic cleaning, or compressed air to remove or agitate the liquid metal?-

by HondamanI hope my computer does not randomly reboot while typing this. My main system is the AsRock 970A-G/3.1 motherboard with the AMD 8150 chip. I am experiencing FREQUENT and RANDOM reboots once the system is used for a couple of hours (sometimes it reboots before I even get to the Win7/Linux Mint dual-boot screen). The problem MIGHT be the DRAM controller chip (I recently upgraded to the maximum 64 GB RAM). It also might be the VRM chips. I am using a typical aftermarket CPU cooler, which does NOT blow air DOWN onto the VRM heat sink.
(After previous generation hardware [Gigabyte] didn't...-

by tommy97Hi guys,
We're having an issue with an A2337 following liquid damage.
Both CD3217 ICs were severely liquid damaged, so we replaced them. Initially, UF400 was stuck at 5V 0A, while UF500 negotiated to 5V 0.2A and then restarted. FF200 measured 0V.
We then replaced the PPVBUS_USBC0 diode, which restored 5V. However, the behaviour remains the same on both USB-C ports: current rises to 0.2A, stays there for a few seconds, and then drops back down.
The laptop now powers on from the battery. With only the trackpad connected (and no battery attached),... -
by 964758Hello.
Laptop: ASUS ROG Zephyrus M16 GU603ZM.
Customer tried to clean the DC jack area with liquid cleaner while battery was still connected.
After that laptop became completely dead.
Findings:
• No reaction to power button
• Battery not charging
• Main power rail was shorted
• Injecting voltage with current limit causes one IC near battery connector to heat up heavily
• This area had visible liquid damage/corrosion
• After removing this IC, short circuit disappears completely
• After soldering... - Loading...
