Hello. I have a 820-00928 board that seems to turn on, but no image or backlight on internal display, and no image on external either. I do not know the history on this macbook, but the logic board is completely spotless. Caps lock lights up and the touchbar turns on shortly after connecting a charger to it. When the charger is first connected, it takes around 1 amp without a battery connected, but that slowly drops to about 300ma after only like a minute of being connected. PPVCC_S0_CPU is 1.06v when first connected and then it drops to 0.65v. PPVCCSA_S0_CPU is 1.06v when first connected but also drops to about 0.9v. PPVCCGT_S0_CPU is always 0v and does not seem to be short. I get 5 ohms on PPVCCGT_S0_CPU and 7 on a good board. What should I check next?

PPVCCGT_S0_CPU only appears under high graphics load, when Intel Graphics is used.
The other CPU rails look to have good reaction, board is really booting.

As you are missing both internal/external video, should have a problem with U9800, but U9850 could also be involved.

Yea I am missing both internal and external video. I have another one of these boards that I repaired and is now fully functional and I am using that one to compare values to. Looks like PPVCCGT_S0_CPU is 0v on the good board also, but I do get voltage on the GPU coils when I first connect the charger to the good board. LA640, LA650 and LA350 have 0.9v and LA300 has 1.2v for the first like 30 seconds or so and then they go to 0v. This board never gets any voltage on those coils, so that is why I am thinking its a GPU issue.
