Hi MacRumours members,
I have been given a Macbook Air 13" A1466 EMC2632 by a friend. Lucky me I hear you all saying LOL..
Well it's not as simple as that. It has unfortuntely had a Tea spillage so I need to do some thorough testing and possible parts replacement...BUT I have done a full Board clean up, with IPA and light air blower, and physically cannot see any corrosion or nasty component damage.
My friend advised me that it is a 2015 model with the extras added (that I can see on the OEM sticker but I need to ensure that the Schematic I am I following is correct to the physical laptop.
Board identification is as follows:
820-3437-B
MLB 1.7G HY 8G SI (not sure what the HY and SI mean though)
Also could really do with some guidance in regards to the multimeter testing, such as what Parts essentially need to being connected up so that I get proper accurate readings.....and also Diode Mode or Resistance mode or Both preferred for testing the circuit.
And lastly, what I should look out for in regards to drink spillage etc.. but I cannot see any components which look like they are fried or corroded.
I have read a forum on here that mentions the 2015 model requires the battery connected to complete tests, but I am unsure if this is a 2015 model or earlier model.
Your help would be very kindly apprecited thank you
Paul
