Looks like poltergeist.
If you lost 20V on USB-C port after touching the board, could be an induced problem.

Missing 1V1 LDO now, points to U3100/200, U2800/90, or something on their area.

Gets stuck in progress bar w/ and w/o battery?
Did you try with known good working battery?

Test it booting USB macOS.
Also test starting in safe mode and SMC bypass too.

Moment of history ? The Mac was work fine just no keyboard and trackpad.
After all 5v stuff and back to 20v...With battery it’s dead and PPBUS_3GH 0.4v(also try good know battery but the same) it’s turn on just with charger alone(no battery)! Apple logo with loading bar, stuck at 70% and turn off. I was tried different ssd but the same.
Will try Safe mode and update. But the battery thing is wired.

Shouldn't be USB-C issue, as the input power switches to 20V correctly.

I suspect more for a SMC sensor issue.
But you've said didnt' start in SMC bypass mode, very strange...

Many times explained on the forum and Google also helps.

BTW, once battery and charger are both removed, SMC reset is done; no need to do it through keyboard.
But is not the same as starting in SMC bypass mode!

How did you try, injecting voltage into PPBUS_G3H???

Compare exact ohm resistance (not diode mode) with all coils.
