The story of my life with these T2 MacBooks. You can replace the T2, but it's certainly not easy without the proper tools. It's a multi layered BGA chip that can easily be destroyed if you attempt to heat it from the top with the wrong heat settings, as it can warp the top layer. You can re-ball the chip and it's layers or even replace the top layer, but it's not easy or fun. It sucks! I have grown to hate repairing T2 MacBooks! Not worth the time as I have discovered the hard way. For a company such as yours, where your time is money, it is indeed beyond economical to repair. Great video as always!
I know this may be a dumb question but … Can I in theory replace an a1990 Macbook pro logic board with a2338 Logic board they both have Touch Bars 🤷♂️
Love the live troubleshooting!! Whats with the 3 different metal wool tip cleaners?? They look more brass then copper? Do you use them for different solders or? Thanks
Thanks for the reply. Heres something you might enjoy Today i ffound a program called "Wuxijin". Seems to have Information ZXW is missing For example ZXW is missing Diode Readings for Iphone 12 Mini. In this video you can see at 6 mins he has diode readings and it looks like much more for that model th-cam.com/video/s8eP0Bc0js4/w-d-xo.html Looks like it might be worth getting... Runs the same as ZXW, no USB, just purchase and register.
Did you consider trying to force into DFU by putting a jumper across SWK003? Just in case those finicky keyboard commands are trolling you. SOC_FORCE_DFU to PP1V8_SLPS2R

Sorry I missed it Esteban but watching now. Hoping for a good outcome and thanks for the video
Unfortunately not. This one appears to be a dead T2.

It is indeed brass. The cleaners are attached to each soldering iron holder. So one cleaner from each soldering iron.

I searched Ifixit, Badcaps, Ipad Rehab, and no mention of Wuxijin... Interesting Find!
