This 820-01987 board came with damage to the USB-connector, a shorted audio amplifier, and a liquid damaged backlight FET. After correcting these issues, the board is now stuck at 5V USB-C with PPBUS at 12.3V.

When connected to another Mac, it immediately shows DFU mode and appears to be stuck that way. When I hold PMU_ONOFF_L to ground, DFU mode disappears after a few seconds, then immediately comes back on.

DFU Revive and Restore fail with the error "Unexpected device state 'DFU' expected 'Recovery' (Probably forced into DFU mode externally)".

I tried installing the SOC ROM chip U4770 from another board but the same occurs.
