Hey guys,

hope you can help me with this one.

Board is looking nice, except u6100 area.

PP3V3_S5 is present

P3V3SUS_EN is not present...?!

PP3V3_SUS is like 0.01V

Should i replace U6100 directly? Or any other options first to check?

You must clean the corrosion and replace damaged components.
Remove U6100, clean its pads and ones from board; check traces continuity and resolder back the chip.
Check diode mode to ground on 3V3_SUS; w/ and w/o U6100 in place.

Do not reflash BIOS yet.
Only change U6100 if it causes short.
