Early 2014 MacBook AIR chip erase failed HELP!

I recently received a MBA with an EFI passcode lock. Opened the bottom case, setup my pi to read the efi chip. Connect the easy flash device and when I did that I may have connected it a little ruff so one end of the MBA connection end is broken. When connecting the easy flash device I notice that the pi resets each time. 2 time I got a chance to connect it but I failed to read the chip. Now my MBA isn't booting at all. Could I have damaged the chip. I notice that the easy flash was getting a little hot. I got a read of the chip but their were no $SVS, I'm thinking I burnt out the efi chip. I keep asking my self why was I being so fast! CAN SOME PLEASE HELP ME!

The easy flash is connected. This is what I'm getting when I try to erase the chip. I'm not sure if I got a good read but I didnt get any errors. The erase command failed.

End results of trying to erase the chip.

3.3v from the raspberry pi..

there's probably a good EFI dump available in the repository, so don't worry about that.
the question is: what are you powering your raspberry pi with? your usb power supply should be >1 amp. i use a 1A iPhone power brick, but it's suggested to use 2A power or greater.

on a side note, my raspberry pi will reset every time i connect it to an EFI chip. i don't know why, but it does, so i've just gotten in the habit of connecting it before powering on.

if you've damaged the connector on your ezflash, and it's getting hot, you may have a short. i have an ezflash that SOMEHOW LOL got shorted between 3v3 and CS, and it interfered with communication, but never damaged the mac. it also spent several rounds connected to the macbook with the wiring wildly inaccurate. i never shorted 3v3 and gnd, but don't give up yet.

take a voltmeter and test for continuity between any of the wires you've connected to the ezflash. if you're steady enough, you can also test for adjacent shorts between neighboring contacts on the ezflash mezzanine connector. in the event you've done irreparable damage to it, you can replace the connector alone...

they're a mezzanine/board-to-board connector made by Hirose, and Mouser stocks them for $.75ea.

just make sure you order the 12pin or 24pin or whichever one you damaged

I think I damaged the logicboard connector

Not sure. I wish I had another easy flash to test. Like I said, I got a read but I couldn't erase or write to the chip.

Check out the photo.

You can see how both ends are broken off.. I was being fast & not careful..

How many Amps is your raspberry pi power supply? That is important to know, it should be at least 2A.

As far as the socket.... I don't know how you managed that. Do you have a microscope? There doesn't appear to be any short or broken pin. While it's definitely damaged, I'm not sure it's "broken"

You can order that socket too, it's also a hirose part and I have the part number. You could probably find a local electronics repair shop to replace it.

Yes how is this project going? Carefully I hope lol
