The machine arrived with no ssd and smelling of shampoo but no corrosion.
No idea where to start as I haven't worked on these before.
PPDCIN_G3H = 5V = 19kohm to gnd
PPBUS_G3H = -0.023v = 45kohm to gnd
PP3v3_G3H = 0v = 1.5Mohm to gnd
F7000 = ok
measured current resistors R7020 21 22 and R7060...
Original issue was liquid damage on the resistors under the CPU R1672 R1449 R1669 R1447, replaced them and machine boots and works perfectly.
But when shut down the machine will boot up again after 5seconds or so, power button is not stuck because if I hold it down while booted the shutdown...

Cant seem to find replacement UK keyboard for the 2017 yet. Will the 2016 work? or does anyone know...

I'll put it through UC and post pics
