820-01598 no gong

I have a macbook 820-01598 which has 20v but black screen and without gong. DHU passes without error but still nothing displayed. Trackpad vibrates, capslock does not light up. I found a low resistance on L 7670 - PP5V_G3S 6ohm. Can I perform a short circuit test ?

Strange situation. R7744 was getting hot. I removed it. The short circuit was still present. Later, U7710 started to heat up, so I removed it and again the short circuit did not stop. Now the U8110 is heating up. Should I remove it ? This is the first time I have this situation.

You have 2.2 ohm resistors in series with U7710 and U8110.
Comparing resistance to ground (ohm scale) on both sides of these resistors can tell you where is the short coming from.

Seems that overvoltage occured on the 5V_G3S power rail and affected more circuits.

I replaced two ISL95870HRUZ but one was from the motherboard 820-3662 (ISL95870). Now the MacBook boots but there is no image.

Missing both image and backlight?
Do you get 3V3/5V_S0SW_LCD?
DP_INT_HPD should go high at same time.

Did you test with known good LCD assembly?

Backlighting is missing.
Unfortunately I have no known good lcd.
PP5V_S0SW_LCD 1.4V
PP3V3_S0SW_LCD 3V3
DP_INT_HPD 3.3V
Q8400
1- 0v
3- 12.5v
4- 12.6v
Diodemode D840 (red probe to ground)
pin1: 0.88
pin2: 1.2

You probably need to replace U8500.
First, check diode mode to ground at 5V_S0SW_LCD, w/ and w/o LCD connected.

"4 - 1.3v
5 - 0v"
In previous post, you've said to have 1.4V at pin 5.
And pin 4 is not used...

I replaced the u8500 and have 5v but still no backlight.
Now the diode test is the same with and without LCD.
PPVOUT_S0_LCDBKLT - 0v
Can I connect LCD with a1708 ?

I just looked at A1708 schematic and may not be the same option for backlight test.
It should give image, but not sure about backlight.

Be sure all R8450-3 are good.
Post BKLT_EN_R and BKLT_SD levels.
Check voltage and diode mode on SCL/SDA lines.
