MacBook Air 15" A2941 820-03160 Stuck 5V 0.009-0.010A

I have a MacBook Air 15" 2023 M2 A2941 820-02862 motherboard that won't power on. Initially, a malfunction was detected in U7700, which was replaced, and the diode values returned to normal. However, it's worth noting that the PPBUS_AON line has an abnormal value of 0.075V. I've already replaced U5200, but it continues to behave the same way.

Which schematic are you using?

"PPBUS_AON line has an abnormal value of 0.075V"
If that is voltage, what is diode mode to ground reading?
Remove battery + charger and wait 15s before checking.

The voltage at the PPBUS_AON diode is 0.012V.

I'm using XZZ's schematic. Although it lacks information, it gives me an idea for comparison with an A2681 board.

I don't see F5200 in A2941 because it seems to be the same line, PPBUS_AON and PPVBAT_AON_CHGR_REG. I'm not sure if I'm mistaken.

It should have a separation fuse for PPBUS_AON.

"The voltage at the PPBUS_AON diode is 0.012V"
I'm not sure what this means.
I always said NEVER write end "V" for diode mode readings; just to avoid a confusion between voltage and diode readings.
If you really have 0.012 in diode mode, that is practically short to ground for PPBUS_AON.

I tried applying voltage to the line, but it didn't heat any specific component. However, it did heat up part of the board.

Applying voltage without any previous checkings?
Do you have same 0.012 reading on any coil from secondary power supplies derived from PPBUS_AON?
