No readings in diode mode should be OL (Open Line).

Hi , i noticed one thing today.
With Battery connected the AMP Meter is at 20V and the machine turns on and i get external display.
With Battery Disconnected the AMP Meter is Cycling. It goes upto 20V stays there for 4-6 seconds and then reboots on all 3 USB C Ports. (96W Adapter)
JP600 Power Rails with Bare Board on Bench connected with Magsafe
PP1V8_S2 is 1.8V
I2C_SMC_SNS0_SCL_1V8 IS 1.8V
I2C_SMC_SNS0_SCL_1V8 IS 1.8V
EDP_PANEL_1V8_EN fluctuating between 0V to 1.8V
For the internal video problem, you must check JP600's power rails with battery connected; not when power cycling.
Internal LCD must also be connected.
So must check pins 4, 32, 34 and 37/38.
Find proper test points, as you can't reach the pins with LCD connected.
