This Macbook came in with customer stating they had powering/charging issues with one of the ports, now it won't power from both USB-C. After replacing both CD3217 chips and still getting 5V 0.016A I checked the surrounding caps around them and found CF400/CF500 PP3V3_S2 low at .560V. On further inspection I found a burnt coil L8300 which I replaced with a 30Ohm coil (all I had similar) to get 3.7V from PP3V8_AON_VDDMAIN to U8100 MPMU_BSTLQ_LX. Power was briefly at 5V 0.450A but has dropped to 5V 0.016A and I'm not sure where to look next.

Yes I did, I have no scrap boards available with a similar coil. I farmed L5001 from a 820-00840 3V3_S5 line

Can I just run a wire for L8300 or could you suggest an alternative from any board <2017? Have I potentially damaged U8100?

L8300 is not just a simple series filter coil.
Is part of 5V boost-converter integrated into U8100.
There is a chance that master PMU can be damaged now.

It was pretty fried anyway so maybe the damage has already been done? I don't have a donor board for this model, I may have to write it off as a non fixable.
