MacPro A1286 820-8250-A DC In extremely low

I have an a1286 MacBook pro here for liquid damage. it is my first time posting on the forums, so please forgive any info I leave out.
I was told this model is very similar to the 820-2850, which is the only schematic I could find and everything seems to align up.
I am getting .13-.24V on DC In with a known working DC in board.
PPBUS is measuring .06V
I removed C6905, and the issue still persists.
Pin 1,2,3 of U7000 are 0v
Pin 1 of U6900 is .03V
U6901 Pin 1 is measuring -.05V
Any help is much appreciated!

First of all, welcome to the forum!

Missing PPDCIN_G3H points to input leakage issue.
Original Apple charger detects it and doesn't supply the power voltage.

Usually solved changing Q7080/85.
Post R7080/81 and R7085/86 values; measured onboard, ohm scale.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
I am getting an open line on all 4 of these resistors on the ohm scale.

You should get very close readings to the values marking on schematic.
I said ohm scale thinking on auto-range multimeter.
If you have manual model, choose 1M scale.

Ah, I apologize for my noobness. Thanks for clearing that up. On R7086 I am getting .330 (330 KOHM), R7085 is .471 (471 KOHM)
R7080 is .099 (99KOHM) and R7081 is .061 (61KOHM)
This appears to be correct according to the schematic, off by 1 kohm.

Values look good; but should still be good to change Q7080/85.

Test the board with lab PSU, or fake charger.
Lets see if 3V42_G3H and PPBUS_G3H appear then.
Just in case, check first diode mode to ground at L6995 and L7030.

Unless you have any reason to quote entrire post visibile few cemtimeters above.
Please, maintain the forum aesthetic...
