I have an 820-00138-A board (15" MacBook Pro 2015) that works and charges the battery with non-Apple chargers. With an original Apple charger, I get either a flashing green light on the plug or no light at all. I replaced Q7155, the battery power MOSFET, but it didn't solve the issue.

Battery can't be charged untill you get good communication between SMC and Magsafe.
Try another DCIN board; clean its contacts.
Check continuity from U7000 to central pin of Magsafe connector.
Post U7000 voltages.
