iGPU voltage will not come on even after loading macOS.
It only comes on when high load graphics is detected.

Save data in target disk mode and make DFU Restore.

I completed a dfu restore, now it boots to internet recovery but it is still super slow, the trackpad is not fluent and image is refreshing very slow from apple logo to internet recovery to wifi network selection...It takes more than 30 minutes just to accept wifi password, same thing with ethernet cable, i have 16hours remaining.
Is PPVCCEDRAM_S0_CPU also not supposed to show upunder normal light load?
Thanks

Usually not present on boot.
No idea when it comes up.

Start in diagnostic mode and see if any error pops up.
Fan spins to max?

Fan spins normally and cpu is normal warm.
Launching the diagnostic mode seems to take forever, after 1 hour it still increasing the time remaining, 2h, 6h, 9h, 16h, 24h, now it hangs on 24h remaining I don't see any improvment...
I will inspect again corrosion in general and near sensors according to schematics...

Thermal sensor should cause max spin fan.
An I/V sensor shouldn't cause the lag.

Just in case, test with known good battery.

I replaced the only two stuffed I/V sensors, replaced also U9080 and I9000 but no change.
I tested also with a known working topcase and battery and no change. Ultrasoniced as last resort to see if any improvment but still nothing.
I think it's time to stop spending time on this one, we can't fix them all :)
Thanks a lot anyways for you help!
