Originally board hard short on ppbus at C7314. Replaced to remove short.
now board without SSD 90% of the time boots and shows no hdd icon. 10% just won't boot.
with SSD, sometimes chime with fan spin and dies.

tried with external USB bootable. fan spins and dies before apple logo.

no issues getting into diagnostic mode without SSD plugged in. no luck with SSD plugged in and SMC bypass as well

Try to clean ME.
If you can't do that, find clean ME BIOS for test; some files already uploaded on the forum.
