thanks for the information, I don't have a chip programmer, I would like to buy one, even for newer macbooks, which programmer do you suggest?
At the moment the macbook seems to be doing very well, very fast start-up, fans under control, perfect battery !!
solved, I bought a bios chip already programmed, it worked for a day, I got one from another logic board and now everything works !!
I don't know if the terminal command "sudo nvram AutoBoot =% 00"
may have created some problem with the bios chip.
this macbook had had liquid damage, i replaced trackpad connector, i also changed efi chip, battery was dead and put in a new one. Today I connected the battery without fixing with double sided tape, I switched it on and everything went smoothly. Before turning off I deactivated autoboot with a...
the weird thing is that when I first charged it it seemed to have the right amps draw. I tried to restore DFU.
What can I do now? an ultrasonic wash? Trying to inject tension at some point?
Throw it all away in the trash?
I was hoping it might still have a chance to work ....
I had seen a post...
also P1V2_SW is not present, I checked at pin 13 of the U7701 and it seems to be in short circuit, in diode mode it has a value of 0.07.
I don't know if this voltage is needed for booting, is that correct?
in the afternoon I will do further tests, looking in the forum I saw that another user "macRepairAmb" had the same problem, but the post seems to be interrupted, by chance do you know if it solved?

I'm sorry I'm making a mess, will pay more attention to the answers.
going back to the coil measurements I checked these:
L8102 0.06
L7030 0.43
L7701 0.08
L8410 0.78
LB700 0.26
L7660 0.40
here are two photos of the measures. as soon as the PPBUS_G3H charger is connected it goes to 12.70v but be careful, with the charger and battery connected it stays at 20 volts for a second, then it drops to 5v but PPBUS_G3H remains stable at 12.40v.
I bought on EBay, unfortunately I don't know the history of this macbook, I just know that it should be the version with i9 cpu, 32gb ram and 1tb hard disk.
the voltages are stable
