Was a slight water damage board on magsafe side. Had to replace the magesafe and flat cable. the air turns on with green/orange light, but does not find battery in the os. where do i start with this?
PPBUS on 8.17 means SMC is not helping on regulation.. This could be a bad ISL6259 and/or bad SMC, those diode mode readings seems wrong, remember, red probe to ground black probe to teh test point, DMM set in diode mode..
this is whats happening. the battery icon will not display on top bar. it says 0% and when you click on show battery in menu bar it goes away right away. also if you unplug the charger it goes to sleep. here is link
It is still not properly recognizing the battery. Could be bad battery or still SMC problem. If there was corrosion around battery connector there could also be crap under the connector.
Sleeping issue is probably IO board and/or flex cable, the usual.
