I've got this 820-00165. It powers on and runs great but the fan is running at full speed. i ran the onboard hardware test and id came back with some bull shit about there may be an issue with your s.m.c.
check the pic. I did look around for liquid damage and didn't see anything of concern just...
The only issue with doing these updates is that they want you to run them from OS X 10.7 Lion for one of them and OS X 10.9 mavericks for the other. just recently had 2 machines do this on me after board repare. so maybe its a too much heat issue?
i put the 2012 13" retina display on the late 2013 and no video no backlight, but when i put it back on the 2012 i get video and back light. (was gonna remove the panel and put it in the 2013 lid so i have the correct isight cable)
When i see high cpu usage like that and it passes both ASD EFI and ASD OS, i've found that there is an issues with the boot rom firmware/ smc firmware. Normally after downloading these from Apples website and running them problem goes away.
Have you tried running ASD os and ASD efi?
note: this model is well know for bad video card. if you try to boot to ASD o.s. and get only white screen you're screwed and its the video card.
Usually when i see high kernel usage i have to run the update for the boot rom and smc from apples firmware website.
note: usually it has to be done from os x 10.7.

Ok we got this one fixed. broken traces around the u5010 killed me on this one, but was a good lesson for me.
thanks for all the help duke. you can mark this one as problem solved.
yes the board does turn on but fails asd efi now for....
sensor voltage (vn0c)-- axg vcore sensor is reading above the high limit.
sensor value is reading at 2.55v when high limit is supposed to be no higher than 1.7v.
i found the short to ground on pin 2 of r7550. so not sure how it could be...
ok. so i took a look at the area around u5010 to find that i not only had a broken trace between pin3 of q5480 and pin 1 of r5339 but that it was shorted to ground as well. removed some of the trace and ran a wire that solved one of the issuesin asd, also notice a broken trace from pin1 of u5010...
