Hi guys! This is my first repair on a 820-00875.
Customer report no power after a small water spill near trackpad.
When I connect usb-c 61w power unit, fan starts and spin at lightspeed. Nothing else happens.
After checking power lines found that PP3V3_S0 is missing (0,6v).
Found some corrosion under U8220, PM_EN_P3V3S0 and PP3V3_S5_S0R are present and stable.
I've tried to clean/resolder U8220 but no success, still 0,6v on PP3v3_S0.
Can u8220 be burned? it looks perfect... I should try to bypass it and inject 3v3 on PP3V3_S0 and see what happens?
Thank you in advance. (y)

First of all, welcome to the forum!

Check diode mode to ground at 3V3_S0.
If not short, nor low value, then change U8220.

Fan spins high because of trackpad temp sensor issue.

Changed U8220, now everything looks great!
Machine is in perfect shape. Thank you again...
Now i have to deal with a newer A1932 but i'll post a new thread for that.
