Macbook a2338 M1 CD3217 chip compatibility

[daltonjr.]

Hi,

I have a2338 MacBook with one bad CD3217 chip. Are there any compatible chips on aliexpress that actually work? Or only chip from same motherboard can be used?

I remember buying one CD3215 for older 15" model on aliexpress and that one worked.

Thanks!

You can find good chips there, but you'll also find bad ones. Best to source from a parts board if you can; the 02020 boards can have the controllers replaced individually if you pull from the same model/etc. There are plenty of good sellers on eBay for chips as well!
