ok i'll test with board only.
btw any luck with bios...
pass ASD EFI and Memtest. sometimes it just stops 1/3 of the loading bar.
found corrosion on U7501 and corroded pin 10 and pin6. I've replaced this chip and fixed the trace.
i also have tried other bios with clean me and its still same.
Try different PC3-12800S RAM, also have you try disconnect every internal connector but apart from LVDS, trackpad and keyboard to see if will boot on external USD?
i don't know why these two files are giving sensor errors on ASD EFI which causing high-speed fan. then I put back the original unmodified rom and its working fine without error but no serial.
could it be wrong SMC version?
2informaticos, Any ideas?
original unmodified rom...
Hi 2informaticos,
I've received looks to be a new board but hasn't been serialized. I don't have Medusa2 to play with :( and already tried blank board serializer v1.1 but it doesn't work on later boards.
I've tried manually hexedit the dump but doesn't have the SSN entry.
can you help me...
wow, what are the fecking chances!!!
SDA ball wasn't solder due to flux turned solid and blocking the pad.
I've cleaned, applied new flux and placed the SMC back in and reflowed into place without reballing.
now is working :)
the board was liquid damaged, corrosion was on the SMC and u5410 area.
it didn't turn on initially, after reflow then replaced SMC from a donor then now the board power up except fan goes high.
ASD reports Ambient Air temp error, memory temp errors and a bunch of other temp errors.

You cant use 2014 screen on a 2015 logic board. It?s needs to be the same year. I suggest you order a 2015 cracked screen from ebay for testing.
