Hi, this mac had liquid damage and came with oxidation on the USB-C controllers on one side (U3200 and U3100). I did a cleaning but it was not successful. When I made measurements in reverse diode mode on the LDO signals, on all four controllers, I got:
U3200
PP1V8_UPC_XB_LDOD: 0.466V
PP3V3_UPC_XB_LDO: 0.517V
PP1V1_UPC_XB_LDO_BMC: 0.495V
PP1V8_UPC_XB_LDOA: 0.501V
U3100
PP1V8_UPC_XB_LDOD: 0.469V
PP3V3_UPC_XB_LDO: 0.517V
PP1V1_UPC_XB_LDO_BMC: 0.499V
PP1V8_UPC_XB_LDOA: 0.503V
UB400
PP1V8_UPC_XB_LDOD: 0.465V
PP3V3_UPC_XB_LDO: 0.517V
PP1V1_UPC_XB_LDO_BMC: 0.495V
PP1V8_UPC_XB_LDOA: 0.502V
UB300
PP1V8_UPC_XB_LDOD: 0.471V
PP3V3_UPC_XB_LDO: 0.517V
PP1V1_UPC_XB_LDO_BMC: 0.504V
PP1V8_UPC_XB_LDOA: 0.509V
Next, I replaced U3200, Q3200, U3100, Q3100 (because they were oxidized too much initially) and also UB300, for presenting slightly altered values compared to the other chips.
The board turns on and the system goes up, but as initially, it does not show any activity in any of the four ports, and the keyboard does not work (probably because of the liquid, although I have not tested another). I can't get past the user login screen, because I can't type the password (because of the keyboard) and I can't use an external keyboard, because none of the four ports work. Sometimes, even on this screen, the machine restarts by itself and apparently generates an error report, but I can't see it because it is not possible to access the system.
Can you help me with what measurements I should take? Thanks!
