Thanks man. I ordered a battery thinking that was the issue. Turned out it was not. I followed your video very carefully, .. I cleaned a few spots on the back of the motherboard with just Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft bristle brush. A few spots that looked a little corroded. Without a doubt the fan kicked on to my surprise, and the light on the charging cable turned back on. This video saved me a lot man thank you. Very much appreciated!!
Followed step by step, it was just the same. I used Isopropil (just a little and allowed some dry time) to clean the board. Put it back, checked the voltage values, they got it all back. Thank u. Very well explained video.

I had this same MacBook that had coffee spilt on the keyboard on for repair today and in the end it just needed a new trackpad. Thanks for the video that gives a good step by step strip down!
Mid 2013 here. Worked perfectly just using isopropyl alcohol and a soft bristle brush on a few corroded spots on the back of the motherboard. My tips for anyone who tackles this self fix is to be patient. Do not force anything, and be organized!
Thanks for the great video! I was able to tear my MB Air down, find the corrosion on the flip side of the mother board, clean it up, and that did the trick! Back in business !
Thank you so much!!!!!❤️ tore down my laptop and was able to find the 2 spots of corrosion. You are a fucking hero I tried everything else on CZcams and yours was the friggen key!
Thanks for the video.... I messed up two big things: I put battery back in and didn't screw it down... then when I re-removed the bottom panel the battery stuck to it (the little plastic tab in the center of the bottom cover) and this pulled the battery connector off the logic board. I persevered w the water repair... also screwed up the speaker connection (didn't pull it "UP")... I found corrosion on the board once i got it out... cleaned it w denatured alcohol (It was only wet for 24 hours and I had it drying without case within 12 hours). Fan is on so power is getting to it but won't turn on... I am going to leave it for 24 hours and maybe clean again. I am also going to pull SSD and try in another MacBook Air (older one) -- this one is 2017 and not even paid for.... One thing to suggest: coach on the connectors a bit.... pull this one UP (I wish I'd read the comments that said watch out for speaker connector). Battery connector was just bad luck as I've not had that happen w MacBook Pro I kept running for years after a cup of tea was spilled on it. THANKS AGAIN. I can't do the testing/solder cleaning but still I gave it a go. I might try to have the board repaired by a shop... I guess we will see.
Thank you so much. I’m running into the same MBA with similar symptoms and was about to soak the logic board in an ultrasonic bath. But I’ll take a closer look around this bios chip.
Hi NicleT, I am on the same case, mine died for no reson and don't turn on anyway, do you have the pin out voltage references I should mesure? This is not my professional area but I am electronic engineer and I would like to give a try to fix it, if you ahve and can share I appreciate here is my email washington.werner@gmail.com, thanks man!!

Hello, Great video. I have the same problem, miss some voltage like 3.3V..5V...like you ! do you change components ? Or just past flux and hot air ? Thank you in advance ! :)
Thanks for the video. I fixed mine. I was too lazy to get 99% alcohol so used drops of crown royal , lol. After cleaning the corrosion, it did work fine
Thanks for the video - repaired after water spill - full working order. Did not try a reflow, cleaned with acetone then noticed you used alcohol so I switched. I never imagined I could get this repaired until I found your video. folks be careful with the speaker connectors. they pull straight up and NOT out.

Great video brothers I have one need to replace keyboard got it to boot up disconnect battery not logic board boots up works but keyboard is not working only some keys work....
Great video ! Question.. after you put it back together and tested the keyboard was the WiFi con disabled? Or enabled ? Do we need to do anything for the wifi card to be detected ?
I followed your video for cleaning purposes all went well, but now the wifi icon is grayed out and Bluetooth works perfectly fine . On system preference under network state says disabled and when I press the activate wifi nothing happens. Any idea 💡 what could be happening ?
Thanks for sharing this video. After getting $570 repair quote from apple I saw your video and bought the tools for $7.99 from Amazon. now I fixed my son's Macbook Air and it is working better than before.
Hell yeah am sick of people ripping other people off for there own self greed scumbags glad you fixed it and didn’t give away 570 dollars god bless for real honest people out there now I gotta do the same thing and fix mine too 😊
Hi, thank you for this video. Is a 70% IPA okay to use on logic board? I spilt coffee and there is a clear coffee streak throughout the logic board. Also the battery doesn't charge
I'm looking at my sons Macbook Air - identical to the one in your video. It seems there are two problems evident: 1) the SSD is not being recognosed at all - it's a 512GB Samsung blade 2) the battery is not recognised as being present I have restored the OS (Yosemite) to an external USB hard disk and the machine boots. Apple Diagnostics tells me there is a problem with the battery and a storage device. Great! Apple Service Diagnostics (ASD 3S156) says pretty much the same. It does not indicate mothernoard problems and as I say, it boots. I don't mind spending money to fix it, but don't want to spend it on the wrong stuff. Naturally I don;t have spares to play around with. It suffered light liquid damage. Anyway, your video gives me some things to try. Muchas Gracias :-)
you should try the smc reset he did at 00:30 ... that worked for me for symptom #2. my adapter's light wouldn't turn on, the battery wouldn't hold a charge, immediately turn off i disconnected the adapter ... however when i reset my smc, for some reason i had to turn on the device 1st then hold the left shift/control/option + power button. that did it.
Hi, great video made some progress on fixing a macbook from a friend, but now still stuk as follows: when battery connector is in, no charging and see for a fraction the empty battery symbol on the screen (when powered in). When I disconnect the battery from the motherboard, I do get the startup sound, but then only a very dimmed apple logo in the center of the screen... can somebody help?
Really great video - . By chance, where did you get your pinout/expected values for the SMD? I'd be especially interested in the Voltage and Ω readings and which resistors are in the main power chain. Cheers!
@Michael Araya What? I'm not looking for someone to fix my device - I was looking for the schematics. I was able to find them after a bit more searching, however.
@@anon12416 If you google the exact board (not the model, the board itself) you'll find them pretty easily. The A1466 is available pretty widely online. For instance, the was working on at this time was the 820-000165. You need that number to get the right board.
While observing your surgical strategy, it was, at times, difficult to see the key manipulation and at one point it went blurry. Was that done for a reason? (Rhetorical.) Also, where did you buy the non-marring tool?
Hello im planning on using your method to fix my macbook, thank you for the upload. Just to clarify, I would separate the parts carefully, look for corrosion and then clean it out with pure alcohol and a toothbrush and then let dry it for 48 hours before turning it back on? If it doesnt turn on after the cleaning do i need a new logic board? Also what is that blow thing you used in 16:13? Sorry for all the questions im pretty unfamilar with computers and dont want to mess this up. If all goes wrong and it still doesnt turn on would i be able to send it to you guys to fix it? Apple is charging me 700 dollars and i dont have that kind of money. How much would it cost for the fix?
hi, sorry for a late response. yes alcohol at the beginning is good. you don't need to wait for 48 hours before turning it on though. a few minutes is enough. the tool you mentioned is the hot air station. if cleaning does not work, a board most likely can be repaired. a complete replacement is the last option if we do a board repair, we charge $300 thank you
My daughter recently spilt a bit of water on her MacBook Air. We left it a week to dry. The MacBook works fine but it won’t charge, no light appears on the charging plug? Any suggestions. When I opened up the MacBook one of the battery water sensors has a red dot on it, can these batteries be replaced
Just inspect the whole board close up. Also check the dc board and the flex cable connecting it to the main board. Make sure there is no corrosion and nothing get super hot. If still can’t find anything, then you have two options: sent it in for logic board repairs or replace the board. Thank you
Hello , i followed this video and my macbook air has now started working . But it works only when the charger is connected and also now the batttery is not getting detected and charger light remains orange all the time even if I disconnect the battery . Ideally if there is not battery connected the light should go green .. Please let me know what needs to be checked here , may be a video would be helpful
At 7:38 I dont get 8.6 volts , Im getting 8.0 on the left side but when I check the right side its 7.2 volts.... Any suggestions on what to look for ??
@@janmina5620 The biggest problem with these is the DCIN {audio} board so try a known good one of each first. If not, start watching some Louis Rossmann videos
This is so cool! I think I have almost the same - macbook air early 2014 - I have 8GB of ram and I went with the i7 BUT! It would be so nice if there was like, 4x4GB of rams that I could get at least 16GB of ram. Or haha change the processor or something since it's also soldered. Is it the Logic board / motherboard that stops this not supporting higher ram or? I think I read the processor or so. Would love to hear some opinions!
Great video! Very clear. In my case the adapter's light won't turn on. I haven't had the chance to try it on a different laptop. The laptop only turns on when I press the power button connect the power adapter and keep pressing the power button for 5 seconds. The battery won't hold charge. The laptop would immediately turn off if I disconnect the adapter even though it doesn't show any lights. Any thoughts?? Thanks again!
i know this is a year late ... but this happened to my macbook pro 2013 and i couldn't figure it out so i did the smc reset at 00:30 ... that fixed my issue. my i had the same symptoms you did ... my adapter's light wouldn't turn on, the battery wouldn't hold a charge, immediately turn off i disconnected the adapter.
I found some corrosion above the right 1RO 50416 (the on you measure at 7:56) and cleaned it up, but it is a little bit rusty. Then I checked the bios chip's pins just like you did and they all worked fine. I plug the power cable back in like you do at 10:15 and after 2 seconds the fan makes a spin and stops again. Any thoughts?
Misses spilt a bit of champagne on hers, tried all the resets and PRAM but nothing worked just the fan. Took it apart and cleaned the logic board with rubbing alcohol using a toothbrush. Once all back together came on for ten mins then died again, I was gutted. However next day came on no problem and so far has been working fine. Massive thanks to you for this video as I would never have tried that.
My laptop is not turning on and adapter light also not lighting up.below i'm giving accidental history Once water was spilled on it but after 1-2 months later its fortunately turned on and after that i have used it for 6 months and so. then i shifted to a place which was quit humid. And after using it for 10-11 days there,one day it was not running smooth so i pressed restart button and its never turned on after that. I also diagnosed it and they told me that smc system have some problem Any help?
I spilt coffe on my Mac air 2017, I handed it the incompetent - these people just take your money and he r no clue . My computer when turned on flashes as if telling me it’s the track pad.

Hi man, I have an 2015 early macbook pro, and I just put it to charge and the charger began to sparkle. My MBP turned off and won´t turn on again, do you think that It could be fixed?
My MacBook Air A1466 2014 is having the same problem but there's hasn't been any liquid damage. In 2016, two years after purchase, the logic board was replaced by the Apple Store. Now, two years later, its dead (green goes to amber on the power cord). Took it back to the Apple Store. The tech said the logic board needed to be replaced again. Her supervisor said the power board. Not sure which, but it's doing the same as the one in this video.

My laptop is not turning on and adapter light also not lighting up.below i'm giving accidental history
Once water was spilled on it but after 1-2 months later its fortunately turned on and after that i have used it for 6 months and so. then i shifted to a place which was quit humid. And after using it for 10-11 days there,one day it was not running smooth so i pressed restart button and its never turned on after that.

Hello,
Guy i want known what liquid did you use on the power box in the middle of the video?
Hi man, I have an 2015 early macbook pro, and I just put it to charge and the charger began to sparkle. My MBP turned off and won´t turn on again, do you think that It could be fixed?
Sir my macbook air 2018 model is not turning on. Please suggest me some solution. I have already tried SMC reset and all other methods.
Where did you buy screwdriver?
what did the customer decide to do at the end?, and how much did you charge for this job?. Thanks.
My MacBook Air A1466 2014 is having the same problem but there's hasn't been any liquid damage. In 2016, two years after purchase, the logic board was replaced by the Apple Store. Now, two years later, its dead (green goes to amber on the power cord). Took it back to the Apple Store. The tech said the logic board needed to be replaced again. Her supervisor said the power board. Not sure which, but it's doing the same as the one in this video.
Usually these boards are pretty stable. Only fail with some external damage(liquid or shock)
Maybe it’s a fault refurbished board from Apple
How about if I can turn on, but the touchpad and the keyboard was not recognized and are not functioning? How can I fix it? Thanks!
Where are you located and how much you charge for a repair ?
