when AC adapter connected fan not spain and charging led turns to red without attaching battery , when battery is attached charging led go to green and macbook works ,when i remove battery mac still working , in other hand macbook boot up and ssd not recognized and cpu temperature is so high.
video describe the situation

video note: customer said that macbook falled down .

video her google drive

First of all, welcome to the forum!

Don't play again connecting disconnecting battery, when charger is plugged in.
You risk to fry the SMC; do NOT force your luck.

If Magsafe light switch to green, when battery is connected, can mean fully charged battery, or a problem with charging battery circuit.

The board MUST turn on by itself, when charger is connected (without battery).
So do not connect battery again, until fix this.

Post exact ohm resistance between pins 17/18 and 27/28 of U7100.
Also post U7100 voltages; pins 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, 27.
Use surrounding components as test points.

OK, so you get correct PPBUS_G3H on charger only.
Now check PM_BATLOW_L, 3V3_S5/SUS, PM_RSMRST_L, PM_PWRBTN_L, PM_DSW_PWRGD, PCH_DSWVRMEN.

Do NOT quote an entire previous post, visible few centimeters above.

ALL TESTS ON AC ADAPTER ONLY


PM_BATLOW_L --- 0.03

PP3V3_S5 --- 3.33

PP3V3_SUS --- 3.23

PM_RSMRST_L --- 3.30

PM_PWRBTN_L --- 3.41

PM_DSW_PWRGD --- 3.41

PCH_DSWVRMEN ---- 3.23

"PM_BATLOW_L --- 0.03"
PCH cannot start power on sequence in this condition.
Are you using original Magsafe 2 charger?

Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L and check for drop pulse at PM_PWRBTN_L, at same time.
Try to start in SMC bypass mode also.

Yes I use original charger and test other charger but the same situation
When I trigger SMC_ONOFF_L pulse of PM_PWRBTN_L drop from 3.41 to 0.34 but no boot up fan not spin

IT STARTS NORMALLY FROM BATTERY BUT NOT DETECTS SSD.
I APPLIED SMC RESET AND PRAM RESET BUT NOT BOOT FROM CHARGER

I check it 10k ohm and fin connected to surrounding components and the impedance between PM_BATLOW_L and ground is about 3M Ohm, also i check PP3V3_S4 transistor Q3000 no problem.

Also PM_BATLOW_L control by pch may be cpu chip defective?
note: mac can boot from battery but ssd not be detected and temperature of cpu is very high and fan full speed spaining.

PM_BATLOW_L is controlled by SMC; PCH uses it as input.
An internal problem of PCH can affect this line, but is less probably.

Fan starts at full speed, or increases speed as CPU gets hot?
SSD is not detected at all in Disk Utility?

Fan starts normally and rapidly go to full speed due to CPU gets hot.
I try more than SSD all not detected in Disk Utility and its works fine in other machine properly.

REBALLING SMC THEN REFLASH BIOS FIX THE PROBLEM

THANKS 2informaticos
