Is it possible to put a 100% working computer into DFU? Or only machines that had problem?
If yes.
What could be wrong putting 2 WORKING A1706 into DFU? Following the exact commands on the internet. Trying with 3 different charger cable. Trying with Ventura and Sonoma (MBP M3)
I recommend to solder an external switch (RE032) with 5-10cm wires instead.
Playing with it and RE030 (another switch), you should finally put the machine into DFU.

Probably many videos available on INternet.
Press and hold down both RE030/32, release power RE030 after 5-6 s and RE032 after 3-5 s more; if DFU didn't come yet.
By SWITCH you mean a jumper soldered into PIN1 of RE032 (SOC_FORCE_DFU) to PIN 4 of RE030 (PMU_ONOFF_L)?? If not please describe with more details
By SWITCH you mean a jumper that is cut in the middle so I can connect it to each other points to get into DFU and then disconnect so it KEEP at DFU? Right?
I will disconnect TOUCH ID to test everything also!
I don't have any external switch but I think it's totally doable with jumpers as I see some people doing it even with tweezers on RE032.
However there's is not well documented video for my model and also "playing with" RE030.
Your responses often lack the depth needed to effectively guide/help users through the repair process, falling short of the forum's goal to provide comprehensive assistance. Rather than training, I require detailed instructions to navigate the repair without risking any mistakes with the board.
Do you really feel more comfortable to solder and cut a wire instead of pushing a switch button???
Same explications I gave you have been received for many members here and all of them successfully entered into DFU.
I can't believe that you don't know how to connect a switch to board pads.
If still not, I'm pretty sure Google search can show you.
Do you prefer to receive the fish in a silver plate, or learn how to fish?
If you are in the first case, you are not for this job; just buy the fish each time you want/can.
You can employ a technician and pay his share each time you take the money from the client.
If you run the business yourself, buy a fishing rod and learn how to use it.
I don't want to offend a somebody, but I like to see the people using their logic in this job.
