yes i did. seemed ok to me.
I installed a NEW SMC. now i need to program but this machine just refused to boot via an external drive .
The device is much faster now. only thing left is to program the SMC so that max fan spin stops
Q420 lines arent shorted.
PP2v5_AWAKE_NAND is 3.4V
Has an exact same issue before. Had replaced U7700 that time .

Device came in as not turning on but i plugged in the charger it turned on. Worked for a day and then will not turn on.
I take out the board. Corossion on and near the Wifi chip - but no shorts. Replaced the Caps.
PPBUS_AON is 8V. Removed the Fuse - get 12.3V at C5250.
PP3v8_AON is 3.8V.
Since...
PCIE_CLK100M_SSD_P/N is shorted when SSD inserted and without SSD the diode reading is .300
Q5810/30/60 is readings are normal. Still replacing them just in case.

i dont why i feel the issue is in this section of the board.
With all connected except trackpad - i get these voltages now and device turns on as well.
Couldn't check the charging as TP/KB not working.

CHGR_BGATE
But the point here is all voltages are present without battery connected.
