820-02917 (MacBook Pro M3 A2991) – SN24A12 Type-C Controller Issue
Hello everyone,
I would like to share a recurring issue I’m facing with 820-02917 MacBook Pro M3 (A2991) logic boards and ask for advice from those with experience.
I ordered an SN24A12 USB-C / Type-C controller from AliExpress, but unfortunately it did not work.
When I install an SN24A12 taken from a donor 820-02917 board, the device works perfectly.
I am experiencing the same issue on:
• M1
• M2
• M3
logic boards.
Even after flashing the ROM, the SN24A12 controllers sourced from AliExpress do not function. Because of this, I am almost always forced to use controllers harvested from identical donor boards.
My questions are:
• Is there any known method to make AliExpress-sourced SN24A12 controllers work?
• Are these controllers board-specific / OTP / paired to the original logic board?
• Has anyone successfully used a new (virgin / unlocked) SN24A12?
• Or is the only reliable solution to use a controller taken from the same model donor board?
Any insight or shared experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
