This old board was coroded and had many issues to name a few:
3 bad sensors due to bad divider resistor and or traces and or sensor itself.
3 shorts firewire thunderbolt and IR chip
Bad backlight circuit with maximum of issue, fuse, sensing resistor, traces, driver chip enabler circuit
Bad charging circuit
CPU TON A and B
The repair went smooth, and last thing I tried was to test if IO0R sensor fault went away.

In ASD EFI the sensor section is sometimes missing.
When the sensor section decide to appear an I run the test all values are -124 Volts, Celsius, Amps or whatever value we are testing.

I am just about to abandon this board.
Any idea to check? something common must be related to smc...
Logicboard runs well...
Thanks

Check AVREF for SMC at C4921.
SMC requires this voltage for A/D conversion.
And of course, after so bad corrosion near SMC, remove and reball it...

Avref is 3.3V, Sometimes it wil himes sometimes it doesn't but all rail present including cpu vcore...
I Will reball SMC as corrosion got there for sure, I just found R5498 (DCIN Vsense) completely gone and bad looking TMS TDI TDO resistors...
I will report back. Thanks!
