I suppose PM_SLP_S5_L is steady high.
In such case, change U8000.
Just in case, test first disconnecting trackpad (J4801).

Only S5 power rails appear before pressing power button; when charger is connected, of course.
S4/3/0 voltages require to start the machine with power button.

As you get stable S3/0 voltages, S4 ones shouldn't pulse, must be steady high too.

So if I understand you correctly, the S4/3/0 Power Rails shouldn't be present if no button is pressed ?

And if they are, U8000 could be faulty as its giving out these Lines ?

First time when charger is connected, board should automatically turn on; no need to press power button.

Well.. this is the case..
World be almost impossible if S0 is there and S5 isnt right ?

So why do you think U8000 is the problem ?

The other S3 and S0 voltages present?
Possibly bad solders at U8000.
Post diode mode (red probe at ground) for 3V3_S4.

As you said - i will change U8000 - ordered my Donor Board today as my last one is almost empty :D

BTW:
PPVIN_G3H_P3V3G3H changed to 20.5V is this normal ?

Why do you bother with USB-C input, if already got S3 and S0 voltages?
20.5V is good voltage, no problem.
