Diode mode to ground at PPBUS_G3H and 3V3_G3H_RTC?
If good, post U7000 basic voltages; P_IN, AUX_DET, SMC_RST_IN, VDDA/P, EN_MVR, A/BMON.
Also check resistance over C7020/23.
Check all coils, including SSD ones.
If none gives the same value as PPBUS_G3H, then is safe to use voltage injection method.
First remove F7000 and see which side the short remains.
