Makes no sense. Pin 2 on Q7700 is an output pin no ENABLE. But looking at R7701/02 then Q7700 is not turned on
Did you test with a good screen from 2015/16 nothing else works. If yes then first check SMC_LID then replace Q7700 and check if fuse is good of course.

Pin 17 on Q7700, that is interesting....U7700 I suppose.
Is there even an image? Check with flashlight on the back of the Apple logo

SMC_LID?? Are you 100% sure you check with a known good 2015 LCD? inspect LCD connector for damage to. Only then you touch Q7700

Because 1.99V is not right! Should be at least 3.2V. SMC_LID is the issue here.
So corrosion on HAL sensor or trackpad/connector.

ok so SMC_LID is 3.385 and not as I said before, got some wrong measurements before for some reason..no liquid or other damage on TP and cable.

I cannot give any advise when you give bad information. The quality of my advice is as good as the information you provide me. I need to at least know that you are able to use a multimeter and probe the correct part as I cannot see what you are actually doing.

It was all about the attitude if the measurements was wrong one could think it is because the lid was close which it probably was so just ask the right questions instead of rolling eyes on those newbies, I know where it comes from since I advice newbies in other levels, find the patience and ask the right questions thats all Im asking for.

Ok please lets proceed to the case.
I now replaced U7700, R7700, Q7700, F7700, Q7701, D7710, R7733, C7740, R7744 AND LVDS connector and yes tested with other displays but still no backlight!
try to guide me out Im probably missing something basic..

R7752/53. Also check diode mode on these lines. There is not much else to this anymore. You did try a known good LCD from the correct model year??
