Device came in as not charging.
PP3V42 was shorted. PPBUS was 0V with no Shorts.
Injected Voltage and SMC was heating up. Replace the SMC.
Now i get 8.2V at PPBUS and i get 3.4V at 3V42 but still no Mgsafe light and not turning on.

PM_SLP_S4_L and ALLSYSPWRGD are missing.

Incorrect PPBUS_G3H voltage; probably no communication between SMC and U7100.

Check SMC's basic voltages and signals; already mentioned various times on the forum.

When I say battery bus, I mean SCL/SDA lines; many-many times asking about such readings.
For U7100 is more easy to write pins number, instead of signal names.

Try another ISL6259 chip.
If still the same replace SMC.

Why do you thing missing?
Do you know what these signals represent?

What is actual PPBUS_G3H voltage, w/ and w/o battery connected?

U7100 requires a good communication with SMC, to control PPBUS_G3H properly.
If both SMC and U7100 have correct reset signal and good continuity on SCL/SDA lines, the voltage should go 12.5V aprox.
