I tried a brand new battery, this time it works.
I have no clue why it didn't work when I tried the other top case with the battery..
Anyway, thanks for the help.
As the title says, tested in fully working known good top case including the trackpad.
If the trackpad is connected it starts to boot, shows apple logo and just before it has to show the login screen it restarts.
It is the same with internal SSD, external OS and known good SSD.

I replaced the audio cable, no difference

1v05_sus is consistently present, not pulsing.
I can try heating but it's unlikely that's crap underneath. Thanks for the help i wanted to confirm i am not going crazy today
Another one that just died on it's own.
No visible liquid or any other damage. Reported by the user that just died.
The fan will spin for 5-6 seconds and all rails are present
No short found on any big caps or coils
Once the fan stops all the pch signals are there, s5 pwrgd is there but no sus_l
No visible liquid or corrosion anywhere. Reported by the user that was working slowly and then just died
All rails pulsing.
In SMC bypass will repeatedly spin the fan for a split second every 2 seconds. Might stop after a few minutes.
No short found on any coils or big caps.
Does the CPU die...
