Hi guys, I've got the computer in title with strange issue - it only turns on after SMC reset (CTRL-ALT-SHIFT + POWER). When turned on, it works perfectly fine, passes AHT and benchmarks, all 4 TBT ports work fine, it does restart correctly every time. Once it is turned off (Shutdown under the OS) it won't back on with power button pressed or lid open - SMC must be reset in order to get it start. I have replaced the power button, reprogrammed EFI, reballed SMC - no luck. Battery is 100% charged now but it happens when battery is low as well. No single sign of spillage anywhere and all sensors are white. What else may cause such problem?

Check the exact SMC_ONOFF_L, SMC_RESET_L, SMC_4FINGERS_RST and BUF_SMC_RESET_L level.
Clean J6100 and inspect R7090 for corrosion; you may force 33-47K in place.
Try changing U8510...
