Hello,
I have an A2337 here, which had corrosion on the CD3217B12s.
I removed the ICs, cleaned the corrosion and replaced the chips.
board is sitting at 5V and around 100mA.
Last steps were: replaced the SMC from matching board, no change. replaced U7100 and got proper PPBUS. Plugged EL Capitan stick in and got an image. All working well now. I was to worried about stuck amperage. The SMC I took off bubbled so was faulty from the beginning
So I received the board with the SMC and placed on mine. The board has now 8,5V on F7140.
But still not turning on. Stuck still at 500mA and not charging. SMC reset did work by shorting with tweezers, but didn't make any difference. Under thermal I saw U4500 getting warmest as well as the CPU
Yes, I read and did what you wrote. No change. But please check this out. From What I thought, that the SMC is programmed, this Chinese seller doesn't confirm.
So I received the SMCs from China, no green then orange light, the board goes straight to 500mA and stays there, CPU is getting hot. No short in that area.
