so customer brought in this macbook, doesnt start with normal power button, but can turn on, in smc bypass, took out the logicboard, found that the trace cr5479 and r5479 is gone, so i jumper it, because there are corrosion near smc, I has tried reballing smc, but still only start at smc bypass..

What is the voltage at C5479?
Check traces continuity for R5477-79.
Also check AVREF_SMC voltage.

Don't forget to check exact resistance between pins 17/18 and 27/28 of U7100.

c5479 0v
pp3v3_s5_Avref_smc = 0v
measured it while charging, but I don't turn it on with smc bypass
continuity all good.., is the traces at pin 1of C5749 which was gone the problem?

Check for short at AVREF_SMC.
If yes, C5125 and C5021 are the first suspects.
If no short, change U5110.
