Am working on an 820-00165 board that would only power off with the power button , but when I try to power it back on with the same power button , it does not respond , even though SMC_ON/OFF_L as well as PM_PWRBTN_L drops when I press the power button , still nothing happens. I have replaced the SMC but no changes , where else can I check ? am hoping I do not have to worry about the CPU/PCH , please help guys

I did try the board alone on the work desk, SMC_RESET_L signal drops at the same time as SMC_ON/OFF_L when I press the button

PIN 6 stays high, so I try to remove the keyboard/trackpad connector and tried it without it , and it worked , so I just replaced it. thank you so much for your help. The issue is now resolved.
