Board had corrosion around the SMC top area both front and back of the board, after UC, clean BIOS and reballing SMC the problem persisted.
With nothing except the screen and power connected I get folder flashing.
With external drive connected via USB I get permanent white screen.
New RAM was also tested but same problem.
After checking J4501 I found PP5V_S3_IR_R was around 0.120 in diode mode and it was supposed to be 0.420 I found that Q7261 was slightly shorted, replaced that and diode reading is now normal and I get 5V on PP5V_S3_IR_R but still same problem.
U4510 diode reading in all pads is good but I replaced it anyways, same thing.
