Hello
This macbook does not work display backlight after water damage.
There was water damage on UP800
PP5V_S2_MAIN was short.
When I tested power supply, UP800 had a fever and I replaced UP800,CP818,CP817.
PP5V_S2_MAIN has no more shorts.

Everything seems normal, but the backlight still doesn't work. I got that chip from China and I tried replacing it with another chip.
Is this chip a set with other parts?
It was originally booted, but now it doesn't boot and it reboots indefinitely from Apple mark without the backlight.

Replacing BGA chips (even very small) on boards affected by liquid can cause weird issues.

Check all 0 ohm resistors around UP800; also be sure no corroded/broken trace in that area.

5V_S2 is stable now?

I'm sorry, but I don't know how to measure resistance.
black and red probes on pin 1 and 2 of RP830 in multimeter ohm mode and check if ohm 0 comes out?
