"Did you power on the board without U7501???"
No, just plugged magsafe and light turned orange.

"Check for short on L7520/60 now"

Checked and not shorted.

AVREF_SMC 3,3V

SMC_DCIN_VSENSE pulsing 0-1,5V
SMC_DCIN_ISENSE - 0.03-0.06 V pulsing
BMON_ISENSE - pulsing to 0-1,2V
SMC_DCIN/PBUS_VSENSE. pulsing 0-0.03 every half second.

PPBUS is 8.62 and constantly goes down 8,5, pulsing too.

ISL6259

17/18 3.3
27/28 20 ( it was first i checked.)

Must be other SMC sensor involved, if it always starts in SMC bypass.
Can also be SMC, if never gets orange light.
Did you test with correct Magsafe 2 charger?
Post exact voltage for PPBUS/PPDCIN_G3H.

Tried new one. Now i have no green light and 8,18 PPBUS. Do you know if 980 YFC LM4FS1BH 5BB... (original that comes with board) can be replaced by 980 YFC LM4FS1AH 5BB ? Also in PDF says LM4FSXAH5BB

"Tried new one"
Really new???
Why did you buy that?
SMC has firmware, need to pick it from donor board, same model.
