A1706 with "critical software update"

overshoot

Member
That board came with a blown capacitor on PPBUS_G3H (C7430).
Replaced the cap and now the board boots but is stuck at the "critical software update" menu.

I've tried a different topcase with no screen (no camera) and same thing so confirmed to be a board related issue.

I don't have much experience with this fault other than knowing it's related to the T1 chip.
I've measured at the inductors next to U4200 and the 4 coils have voltages.

Anything I can try before assuming this is beyond my repair skills (I can't replace that T1 chip)?
