I have PP5V_SW_LCD shorted to ground when connecting the screen (0 ohms)
When screen disconnected I got 58ohms to ground or 0.064V (diode mode)
-Any recommendation on the screen?

Couldnt find any different measurement on the chips.
I replaced UF400 and the machine taking 20V y both ports.

Replaced U5700 and the board takes now 20V 0.200A when connected to UF500.
When connected to UF400 only 5V and the USB-C meter restarts.
Any idea? Thanks!
Just wanted to mark this one as solved.
Replaced the display and the machine is wotking fine.
About the HDMI, it seems that my external monitor decided to die. External video is working.
Is there a way to identify an original screen for a a1708 emc 3164 (or any model) from the seller ?
Any reliable shop in the US?
I have seen some in Amazon and in aliexpress, but I think they are copies.
Thanks!
Hello,

What should I measure?
C6902 and C6905 got completely destroyed, do you think these missing caps could be...
Hola
Customer reported this macbook as dead, however we were able to turn it on.
9 out 10 times the mac turns on and boots ok, 1 time wont turn on, you need to try again and it turn on.
I will reflow the affected areas and use the ultrasonic cleaner. You think this is the correct approach...
