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...

hi 2informaticos
do you have clean me bios for this board, i couldn't find it anywhere else.
spi terminal resistors are all good.
The 25k MHz clock signal is there.
hopefully isn't smc or CPU problem.
pass ASD EFI and Memtest. sometimes it just stops 1/3 of the loading bar.
found corrosion on U7501 and corroded pin 10 and pin6. I've replaced this chip and fixed the trace.
i also have tried other bios with clean me and its still same.
Hi 2informaticos,
I've received looks to be a new board but hasn't been serialized. I don't have Medusa2 to play with :( and already tried blank board serializer v1.1 but it doesn't work on later boards.
I've tried manually hexedit the dump but doesn't have the SSN entry.
can you help me...

Run OSX fine, but an application like Final Cut crashes during encoding.
i then run memtest, on last 3/4 stages, there's a lot of errors.
worth replacing 32 ram chips? do 1 side at a time and test?
It chimes with backlight. no image. i also have tried external display and nothing, even with LCD cable unplug.
