Repair of MacBook a1932 water damage fan running wildly

MacBook a1932 water damage fan ran wildly and did not recognize the battery. Using Apple's online diagnosis, it was found that there were two faults error code. After checking, it was found that the line from q6950 to r6951 to battery BTB connector was broken, and a wire was lost to solve the problem.

Repair  of MacBook a1932 water damage fan running wildly

Machine model: MacBook a1932

Fault phenomenon: it can be started but the fan is running wildly

Maintenance process: at first, I thought it was a peripheral problem, but I replaced another set of casing, and the fault was still the same.After entering the system, I didn’t even recognize the battery. As soon as I pulled out the charger, I stood by.

Using Apple’s online diagnosis, we found two faults error code. The first one is that the battery cannot be identified, and the second is that the SMC may be faulty. However, Apple’s diagnosis can not explain any detailed problems.

With an oscilloscope, the SCL pin of the battery is only 3.3V, but there is no waveform. This problem multimeter should be hard to find.

Apple’s design is not very good. The T2 chip replaces the original SMC, so the battery power and temperature information is managed by T2, but the I2C of T2 is 1.8V, the battery is 3.3V, and the q6950 plays a role of signal amplification.
