G3H rails are always present. S5 rails are present with AC connected. The rest will come on as the macbook turns on first S4 then S3 and last S0. Once S0 is present the very last voltage will be CPU Vcore to come high.

L7220 is the 5V power supply and is a S3 rail. Common problem on these boards is C7771. What is the voltage on C7771? Are you using a REAL Apple 85W charger?

L3405 burned because of a short in the cable to the airport card or airport card in LCD they plugged it in upside down. L3405 has no effect on the power on of the board.

SMC_ADAPTER_EN present? Green light present?
