with eeprom erased, always error 4014 (dfu logo disappear and reappear super fast then error 4014 (unexpected device status dfu expected recovery). all voltages STABLE
This arrived fully functional. User wanted their drive erased and a new OS installed. Booted into OS recovery mode and erased the SSD. During the erase process the screen went black but then nothing else happened. Normally it would turn back on and start internet recovery process. When trying...

i've check all voltages: ALL THE SAME OF THE POST!
PP1V2_AWAKE 1.2V
PP1V8_AWAKE 1.8V
PP3V3_AWAKE 3.3v
PPVDDCPU_AWAKE 0.755v
PPVDDCPUSRAM_AWAKE 0.802v
PP0V8_SLPS2R 0.800v
PP1V8_SLPS2R 1.8v
PP1V25_SLPS2R_SMC_AVREF 0.234v
PP1V1_SLPS2R 1.1v
changed u4780, now i have 1,25v on PP1V25_SLPS2R_SMC_AVREF
ppbus_g3h is "unstable" because it goes from 12,31 to 12,4 to 12,59 without any logic and come back to 12,31 (with charger and battery). with charger only, stable at 12,31
all other voltages, still in loop: from the right voltage to 0
There are so many things that can cause such behavior.
Is impossible to make a list with all involved components.
As I many times said, this is not an exact science...
i understand, but i dont' want to give up....maybe i should open a new thread and write " i don't know the history of this devic: it switch to 20v but it seems in boot loop: what can i check"
maybe restart from the beginning would be usefull...
for example i think i MUST HAVE some power rails before to boot...is it possible that it does'nt boot because i miss some rails?!??!?
If no voltage, check them in diode mode too.
As I said these voltages depends by T2 and U7800.
But even one corroded trace, or component can block them.
