Any other big coil gets voltage?

Machine should appear in DFU mode.
Be sure to follow all the tutorial steps.
You can check SOC_DFU_STATUS, to make an idea about actual board state.
Try forcing with SE032 pads.

SOC_DFU_STATUS is down U3900 and U3100
for dfu i don't detect
when i push the 4 button, the macbook have 20V but 0.000A
 
ok i have dfu mode but impossible to restore, i have error libusrestore error:21 [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore -- 0x15 (21)]

Flash SoC ROM (U4770) and try DFU again.
Make backup first.
Be aware, is 1V8 chip!

If you plan to stay in business with MacBooks, need to get such programmer.

You can try another chip from donor board, same model.
However, should be good to make a backup of that one too.
In case you need to put it back.

The programmer itself is not the problem.
CH341A can do the job.
The problem is to get good 1V8 adapter and support board to solder the chip (USON 3x4).

Error 21 was solved sometimes reflashing SoC ROM.
But may have SSD problem in fact.

Just in case, check diode mode to ground on big coils and SSD power rails.
Also check at Power FETs output, page 74.
Compare readings with good boards.
