Spotless 820-02917 20V with missing PP1V8_UPC0_LDO

Hello,

I am working on that board that doesn't have schematic/boardview.
The closest boardview available is the 820-02935.
The board under the microscope is spotless.

With a thermal camera, I can see the circuitry creating PPBUS_AON is warming up and I get an inrush current of 200mA for less than a second.
Then the area cools down and the current draw is near 0A.

A DFU restore fails with error 4047.
I've tried a couple of times.

Here is what I've measured so far:
I have PP3V8_AON stable at 3.78V
PPBUS_AON went from 12.3V to 12V
PP1V8_AON_LPMU is at 1.8V stable
PP1V2_NAND0 is at 1.2V and PP0V9_NAND0 is at 0.85V
I have 3.3V on PP3V3_UPC0_LDO
I have 3.3V on PP3V3_S2
I have 1.5V on PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE

But I have 0V on PP1V8_UPC0_LDO (Rail missing)

PP1V8_S2 is present at 1.8V
PP1V8_UPC1_LDO is also missing.

UPC0_AUX_DET_SHORT is jumping to 3V then back 0V
I have .46V drop on both USBC0_CC1 and USBC0_CC2 lines
I have .74V drop on both USBC0_SBU1 and USBC0_SBU2 lines
I have .29V drop on both USBC0_AUX_N and USBC0_AUX_P lines

Thanks!
Removing RH030 connected to U5500 (magsafe port) is what caused the CHGR_AUX_DET_SHORT to stop jumping.
Does that mean the SN24A12 is toast and needs to be sourced from a donor or possibly something connected to it is causing the short?

So your problem should be located on the Magsafe area.
Compare diode mode readings around U5500 with another SN24A12 chip.
