I have a A1708 820-00840-A with no power.
It puls 20V from ampmeter but 0A (only board on desk).
PPBUS_G3H = 0V and seams to be shorted. It has 0.002 on diode reading and 0.4 ohm in resistance to ground.
R7020 = 20V
F7000 = 0V and 0.002 on diode reading. After lifting F7000, PPBUS_G3H...
it power on with button and powers off running off battery or charger the fan spins fast i tried dfu it finished with no error's
with thermal cam u3900 shows hot
i Remove U9580 and check resistance to ground at L9580 and PPBUS_G3H. short went away
i replace U9580 and short was still gone i got 19.5 v for about 5 second then 5v back the short was back i removed U9580
and the short is still there
