Hi, when I connect the board to the usb c it makes the transition from 5v to 19.4v but is only getting .026 A. Don´t know where to start on this models... please help!

Practically same signals and voltages like old boards, for power on sequence.
But now PMIC is involved too.
Do you get 3V3_S5/SUS?
What about PCH's RTC signals?

I don´t have PP3V3_G3H, there is a weird thing, on D6902 at both pins I get low voltages going further down while powered on and with a .025A consumption.
Another weird thing is that I replaced U7000 and while the board was still a little hot, it went to its normal .700A of consumption, I disconnected and changed to the other port and it just got .025A, then return to the same port in which it turned on and again getting .025A. What could be happening?? Should I inject voltage on that line to see if there is something wrong?

UPDATE: waited a few minutes and connected it to the usb c port which worked the first time, it went to .700A, connected it to the other usb c and goes to .025A and 0A repeatedly. If I go back to the usb c which worked right away it starts doing the same behavior...

Looks like something reacted to heat, when you've changed U7000.
Maybe bad solders on it, or problems under other BGA chip.

Can you post D6902 voltages, when no 3V3_G3H present?
Better to post also U6903 voltages.

with .026A and no PP3v3_G3H
D6902
PIN 1 = 1.4v
PIN 2 = .224
Both pins slowly going down....
U6903
PIN 1 = .100V (going down)
PIN 2 = .1.100 (going down)
PIN 3 = 0
PIN 4 = 0
PIN 5 = 0
PIN 6 = 0
PIN 7 = 0
PIN 8 = 0
PIN 9 = 0
PIN 10= .080

Picture 1 = Connected the usb c after a couple hours that I left the board on my desk
Picture 2 = Disconnected the usb c and reconnected it a few seconds after it was on
** values taken when it was at .026 A**

New discovery...
when I connect the usb c it seems to charge some capacitor or something on the line PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_R because right when I disconnect the charger, if I measure for continuity on that line, it has continuity to ground but after a couple seconds it goes away and in that case the board will start on any of the usb c ports, I just need to make sure that the short is gone and if I connect it, it will work... I just don´t know how to figure what is making that happen...

Looks like missing R7020 voltage in that moment.
Same behaviour on all USB-C ports?
Compare diode mode readings on all input MOSFETs (Q3100, etc).

DIODE MODE
Q3100
1,2,3,4 = .650
5,6 = .180
7,8 = .560
Q3200
1,2,3,4 = .650
5,6 = .180
7,8 = .560
QB300
1,2,3,4 = .650
5,6 = .180
7,8 = .560
QB400
1,2,3,4 = .650
5,6 = .180
7,8 = .560

yes all usb c where doing the same, I started removing capacitors on the line PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_R and now it hasn´t turned on it is only getting .025 A and down to 0 A again...

I mean I did that, but the board is having the same behavior that it used to have, it is at 19.5v .026A and nowhere to go from there... any advice?

Thanks for the patience vali!, ok, so when I connect the charger I get 5v inmediatly, whenever it does the transition to 19.4v it goes to 1v and then starts to drop...

I don´t know how to do SMC bypass, if you would please send me a link on how to do it on those models I will really appreciate it... thank you!

So many times explained on the forum.
Google also can direct you to an official Apple instructions for sure...
