    Yes the screen causes this fault a LOT I worked on this model for almost 2yrs, apple 6yrs. That left cable is Ambient Light Sensor. Right cable is video, either cable can cause this looping. So many of my impatient coworkers have replaced the logic board for this type of "boot looping" for no reason but on this air model its almost always the battery, screen, or lid angle sensor cable on the right side that causes the boot looping! Hilarious. They lucky you got this cause this woulda been a easy $1,000+ repair we woulda replaced the screen and motherboard for the liquid lol

      The corrosion on the left of the connector shouldn't really be an issue as the pins are GND and NC. The corrosion on the right is a probable short to GND on I2C_ALS_1V8_SCL. I2C_ALS_1V8_SCL = the I2C clock line for the ALS sensor.

      @@dfear hmm, interesting, at my specific company were never taught in depth schematics details like that because 9 times out of 10 Apple forces us to just change the parts due to warranty/apple care & send the old parts off to China to actually get resoldered. I just learned on my own how not to change the wrong parts haha these sensors are no joke on MacBook air/Pro

    you don't normally use compressed air or and electric version to blow out the connectors or garbage off the board.. I would think that is better than just heating the alcohol or water to dry it as it would get the debris out of the connector or off the board.

    I know your pain sorin about taking these new macbooks apart , i worked on an m2 for the first time a few months ago , when you take the cover plate off the motherboard the entire thing is actually a heat sink and apple recommends you replace it after removing it!! The only good thing about the board is that all components are on one side of the board, nothing is on the bottom. Its almost as if apple is working overtime to make it harder for us to repair.

    Whatever company sent this out to you should be taking pictures of previous states and saving them in case of warranty claims. That way they could have forwarded the pictures to you so you can see the previous state of the board before their fix. Sorin doesn't have to do this because his pictures are literally his youtube videos. Seems like common sense to me.

    Sorin, you need a better brush. The bristles on your toothbrush are hard but too thick. You need a brush with both hard and thin bristles. There are small paintbrushes that come as a gift with small paint or varnish sets. If you cut their bristles in half, you can get exactly the brush you need.

    Hi Sorin,
    I've noticed that you're using a toothbrush for most of your liquid-damaged motherboard cleanings. While it works, it tends to take longer and doesn't always give the best results. As you know, the right tools can really make a difference-saving time and ensuring the job is done properly.
