No signs of oxidation.
Voltage: PBUS_g3h 8.59V; pp3v42_g3h 3.42V;PLT_RESET_L 0v; PM_SLP_S4_L 3.36V ; ALL_SYS_PWRGD 3.33V; pp3v3_SUS/S5 3.34V; PP5V_S0 5.13, *Vcore 1.72V, does not fall to 0.82V.

I imagine it is the Me Bios region.

"Vcore 1.72V, does not fall to 0.82V"
Why do you expect that?
This is not 2936/3115 board...

Do you ger 3V at pin 3 of U1950?
Also check CPU_VCCST_PWRGD and CPU_VR_READY.

No result with several BIOS here on the forum. Mac spins the cooler, but no video, no USB activity. I've already checked the resistors and Ci's u6100, u1900, u1950 and q8150, but it still has the same defect.

U3900 should not heat at all.
It doesn't work if PLT_RESET_L is low.
Check diode mode to ground at PLT_RSET_L.
You should test the board removing U3900...
