820-2850 not turning on, green light on charger, no visible liquid damage. PPBUS_G3H, PP5V_S5, PP3V3_S5 are prensent but PP5V_S5 is missing. PP5V_S5 pulses to about 2.5v for a fraction of a second.
These caps are associated with 1V05_S0, which comes from one of the coils you've said pulsing!
Maybe not all pulsing; what about VCORE?
Can you catch a pulse at ALL_SYS_PWRGD?
