hi, long time watcher first time paying, I have 2 boards one 3208 and a 3209, get most of the way into the os and power off,
3209, replaced r2822 c 2820 r2821 r2820 r1010 r7601 q3880, u7600, i thought the ssd was faulty but plugged in my sierra ssd into it and ends with an X (same as 3208)
3208, no corrosion anywhere, came in for boot failure, internal ssd turns machine off, external turns to X
internet asd reports no issues
if louis sees this, sorry for adguard, hope this helps a bit

update, the problem wit both is the ssd, the 13 inch had a broken component on the end, im guessing a filter I replaced it with a jumper and it works in both laptops, the 11 inch ssd is a toshiba, i should have known

Prepare a bootable USB stick for testing.
my personal macbook didnt have an ssd so i used an external one, when I used that I got an X on both macbooks, I only have a sierra installation flash drive I dont have anything else, advice?
