"Still the same w/ battery?"
yes.

Try also Target Disk mode; with another Mac connected to it. "
both don't work. no key is working at all. I'm using a test housing, keyboard and trackpad work fine on my other boards.
CPU goes to 0v after the backlight disappeared. USB light doesn't blink, external monitor turns on for 10sec then switch off.
USB-c stays at 20v but 0ma after the backlight disappeared.
board alone of the desk:
CPU 0.7v
20V, 61mA then constant 28mA showing on USB-C meter.
board on the case...
board turns on, it shows the battery logo once before but mostly shows a black screen with a blacklight on for 10sec then turn off and repeat.
same on an external monitor. no USB activity, no chime. CPU gets warm.
I've already tried two efi clean ME Region ROMs from you here @2informaticos...
fixed... never mind. it's then usb-c cable. still not sure why it's working on another port but not on this port. after changing usb-c cable and this port work. so strange...
I can boot with this usb-c port fine w/out a battery. this port can see USB-c drive fine but doesn't charge and macOS can see the charger but it says "not charging"
I think it's either u3200 or u7000.
usb-c meter say 19,72v at 0.275a which is the same as the other port.
the board was liquid damaged, but someone already has cleaned before me. when you plug a MagSafe, the board doesn't start up immediately.
you will have to wait approx 1min then will boot normally and it passes apple dialogistic.
i can't see any corroded components anywhere under a microscope...
found OL in diode mode on XB_D2R_CONN_N (should be getting around 0.344v)
R3476 is 0hm so its good.
so either USBC_XB_D2R_N to U2800 trace is bad or U2800 is bad.
I've replaced u3200, it's still the same.
then i went ahead removed the shield :
found a blown D3414 diode
I've removed this ESD protection diode, it's still not working.
top port still works
charging is working on both ports, USB thumb & 2.5" external drives is working both ports.
but when i try plugging a Belkin thunderbolt ethernet adapter that is closer to the screen hinge isn't working. however, the top port is working with the thunderbolt ethernet adapter.
same when i use an...
its booted off an external USB drive. cam works fine on another known working board in the same chassis and screen.
its a new osx, I've even made two osx. one without cam.kext out and another one with camera.kext driver.
i don't think its ME region related. but have already tried new clean me...
