Hi, this board came in very slow, not detecting battery, and maximum fan spin, built in asd say battery is not detected and there's a problem with smc, but from experience, i can solved this with change battery.. the question is, can i repair the sensor which located at the battery mini board ?
is there any schematic for the little battery board ?

No way, try known good battery.
Internal processor has setted an error flag.
Cells are good, but battery is locked...

Is not about T2.
Each battery pack has an internal processor; special sofyware and interface required to unlock an error flag.

i fucked up.
I was soldering speaker connector which customer tore, and i FORGET to unplugged the battery, i think i saw a spark at a caps at headphone port which is a ppbus caps. ( connected by j6100 ) , I straight away think this is a t2 problem.. but after many hours trying to dfu, still cannot.
I then remeasure power rail, and I found out pp1v8_slps2r is shorted, resistance to ground at 2 ohm, but injecting power doesnt heat anything
