Reballing smc did nothing. Today my donor arrived, replaced smc but nothing. After replacing u6901 sys one wire was gone. I checked on diode mode under smc with donor and found out sys one wire had a value completely wrong. Turns out the via was damaged but not too much. A small bridge fixed the...
i did not know that i could have a working cpu with dead outputs. interesting. i have replaced cpus before (in other machines), so in case i can replace this one too. Is it possible to source good ones?

nope.... high sierra from a usb key crashes after reaching aroun 80% installation. and internet recovery gives the 1024/2048 error with the only ram bank that actually passes asd... amazing
i did use only on ram module.
the error was on ram test. but it stopped doing that with a corsair macmemory. although now it hangs directly. tried yet another bank on 10600 using a bit of thermal pad under the ram slot and it passed asd. gonna try to install hs and see what happens
tried everything. cam back to this machine now but nothing. bottom of my drawer and i have to fix it... it works only if i install the os on another machine and then put the ssd on this one. even tried update to mojave from sierra from inside the machine but once it finish installing it reboots...
