820-4924 takes time to turn on

This was a water damaged machine with damage around Thunderbird, backlight capacitors and temperature sensor chip, cleaned and reflowed those areas but now when i turn it on, it takes around 60 seconds to chime and start, sometimes fan starts spinning but nothing happens, cpu vcore voltages comes up as soon i press power button but sometimes it takes too long to chime and turn on and sometimes just fan spins and nothing happens.
already flashed clean bios but nothing changed.

Should be good to put good flux and reflow SMC and CPU; just to burn any possible crap acumulated.
Even better to reball SMC.
How does it start in SMC bypass mode?
Run HWMonitor if you can get into OSX.
 
I will try it tomorrow, all sensors are readily fine in hwmonitor except for airport proximity, i guess that's because i left camera cable unconnected while running it
