Check if it is recognized in Disk Utility. Could be that the drive has APFS, so if the board has not had the EFI update it will not boot from it. Hardware should still be visible in Disk Utility though.

SMC_PM_G2_EN present? No short on 3V3_S5?

If you are US based order some 6708N from Mouser. I have to wait for China.....

I have never had a CPU survive this so unless you have time to waste this is a very unlikely repair. There is no way to test the CPU besides fixing the board and hoping it works.

The GMUX bypass does work, but way too much time wasted for me to go do that and backlight control does not work. No I cannot give you a link to chips for sale as the real deal is only sold when you are "in the know". The availability is so limited that unless you have good connections in China...

High side FET on VCCIO is shorted out. This will have killed the CPU and or PCH already. This board is RIP.

History? Liquid? Crap under SMC is likely, was SMC already fucked with?

This does not bode well :( If this was not liquid then I bet the CPU fried. All the more recent Intel CPUs are so prone to either shorting RTC or Vcore.

Don't use your finger, it may shut down because you are conductive and messing up U7600 regulation. Poke the board with plastic tool and see if it is the same. Else it is just the common 3662 issue.

So there is an image in boot menu and while booting? That would suggest the GPU is working and when switching over to Intel GFX it fucks up.

The LCD cable can easily be replaced on retina LCDs!

Run MRI and see if that turns up anything. ME should be ok if it passes the "chipset" test. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ENhq5La9sZ5BWTo0vqaNzAcTOdWWaQAg

Bad transformer or broken traces from connector to transformer. Don't buy boards on Ebay, or if you must just file a not as described claim. You decided to fix so now you own it.. I would never fix a 2533 machine if the original board was FUBAR, just too old now.

There is a way but very easy to fuck it up and messing with command line. Do it safe and run a clean install.

Fix is on the way. Need to test if FDMF6708N will replace the 6808 ones. NEW FDMF6808 are nowhere to be found and all are sanded down garbage.

Check all other rails for shorts again. 5V_S3 is the first suspect. What is 3V3_S5 doing with a battery and charger connected?

Check diode mode on the same pins at the end of a separate LCD cable to confirm the connector is not bad.

Don't use comments please! Either dead SMC or dead ISL6259.

CPU is dead, RIP.
