Awesome! Thanks! Sorry, I missed your post earlier. :)

Thanks for the help. It is possible to remove C1910 first to see if this is the short? I can remove U1900, but this is more difficult for me. If C1910 is the cause and is removed, I'm assuming I should see PPVRTC_G3H with higher resistance? If not and short still exists, I'm assuming U1900 is...

PPVRTC_G3H - R1100 = 0v / 0 - ohms resistance to ground.

Battery will charge when connected and when complete, I get green light. I get orange light with board out and fans connected, but no fans. There is no liquid damage, this is my personal laptop. I know.... but I promise there "should" be no liquid damage. S5 rail seems ok, but S4 is either...
