There was connection between C3717/2 and J3700/22 so it was strange why there is no any value when SSD is inserted.
Checked inside of J3700 and pin 22 was bented/damaged.
J3700 replaced and all works fine again.
Many thank for all help.
Found something wrong.
One of C3710-17 dont match.
With SSD inserted on working board got diode mode reading 0.380 and on clients board got OL.
My 820-00138 boardview is in fact 820-3662 model and that area looks different .
Will show on photo below where got wrong reading.
It looks like it...
R3740 is good
J3700/24 - the same values on known working board:
w/o SSD - 0.456V
w/ SSD - 0.386V

Tested with known good...
Voltage on J8600/ 1 and 56 is correct.
Found low diode more reading on SSD_BOOT_L = 0.014V (should be around 0.780V).
Removed all caps on that line C8675-77 and still low value.
Then removed R1442 and on pad 2 still low value so fault in PCH?
