Can I override the power supply?
My MBA magsafe gets super hot (to the point it can burn your finger). I’ve changed a few adapters and I/O boards, but no big difference. The I/O board usually last a few months, then it slowly stops working, probably because the heat.
Anyway, I bought a new laptop, but would like to use the old MBA as a TV computer (watch movies, youtube, etc. since I do not have a smart TV). But I’m not willing to buy a new I/O board every few months.
I have the following 3 ideas:
1) directly solder the power supply to the I/O board, this should work, I’m not sure if I’d get rid of the overheating though
2) remove the I/O board and directly connect the power supply to the motherboard. I’m not sure if the unit would even work then.. since there are many wires connecting the I/O board and the motherboard.
3) remove the battery and connect the power supply instead of the battery.
What choices do I really have?
