Power rails:
PPBUS - 0V ( not shorted)
PPDCIN_G3H - 5.2V
PP5V_S5 - 0V (not shorted)
PP3V3_G3H - 0V (not shorted)

The board was water damage in U8400 area. So checked all rails and found that PP3V3_S5 is shorted to ground. Checked all components on that line and all seems be ok. Injecting 3V only CPU points where arrives PP3V3_S5 is getting hot.
CPU is dead or there is something else i can check?
