Re: Macbook Air A2179 Motherboard Component Identifying

Hi mon2,

OK, I did it this time I guess. You can find the picture of the fuses at the attachment. Readings are for amp. 1 for all, for volt. F7000: 0.03; F3000 & F3001: 05.1. I am so appreciated! I hope these readings are OK. ...

I cleaned up with alcohol today but it looks same.... Do you have any tips to cleaning up the board? I've cleaned with rubbing alcohol but there are some more corrosions I guess... Thanks!

Re: Macbook Air A2179 Motherboard Component Identifying

My friend is missing. He is not answering my calls anymore, lol. The sticker is white, but due to poor cleaning by me looks messy. Now I am doing the multimeter part. I have read 0.02 amper on the fuse. BTW which voltage do I have to choose? You can find my multimeter's image in the attachment. Thanks for your precious help!...

Re: Macbook Air A2179 Motherboard Component Identifying

Dear piernov,

I appreciate your reply. The stains you are seeing must be excess electronic board corrosion remover liquid. It left some traces on the board. But I'd like to test components more if you have suggestions. I hope you would support me in my learning process as a woman. When I consult to my some friends they are making fun of me instead of supporting me... How can I use the volt/amp meter for the components? I was confused a bit because I got used to working on old and bulky versions of these.

2) Yes, it is! Oh wow, I am super envious of your knowledge!
3) Yes, it is original and working well. But, it is not powering it up.

Today I've ordered tools for myself and I want to learn more about PC repair as a hobby.

My voltmeter/ amp meter is arriving tomorrow. Do you think you would have some time if I send PM to you for asking stupid questions? During my bachelor education we only worked on old bulky electronic parts and I dunno where should I put + and - parts of the volt/amp meter on...

Hi mon2,

Wow, you are amazing! I guess you have the .brd version of the schematic. You are stunning! Do you have any suggestions for me for improving myself about reading schematics?

I am definitely still interested in it! I am sending you a PM!


Cheers!

Hi All,
I have a MacBook Air 2020 which has a problem with the motherboard. I lent my laptop to my friend for a week and he somehow destroy it. When I opened the laptop I found a capacitor/ resistance like the piece. Can you help me to Identify this part because there is no board view only partial boardview available and I could not determine it.

It is in between C7665 and C7685 approximately.

The laptop is not turning on though. But, I would like to fix that problem first. You can find pictures at the attachment.


Thanks in advance.:...
