Reflowed U31/200 already? Replace U2890 as it can cause this as well. If no change, inject 3.3 volts into PP3v3_G3H and see if you get any current draw. If so, figure out what is heating as often one of the CD3215s pulls some current (U31/200). If no current draw, do a diode mode reading around both U3100 and U3200 on the 3v3 1v8 etc LDO rails to see if either chip gives a lower measurement.
Be sure all resistors and traces around U2890 are OK.
U2890 needs donor board to replace; is USB-C SPI chip (like a BIOS).
Corrosion could break communication between U2800/90.
That is sufficient to get dead board...
I did reflow U3100 and U3200.. seems not to have improved anything. I dont have Donor board right now, ill get one and replace U2890 asap and will let you know
I just noticed, that PP3V3_UPC_XB_LDO (measured near U2890) is constant 3.3V with the USB-C connected to the first connector. However if i connect it to the second one, PP3V3_UPC_XB_LDO Spikes to 3.3V and drops gradually untill it hits zero. Then it gets another Spike and repeats that over and over.
