    Try a PRAM / SMC reset.

        Do you see the backlight? Apple boot logo?

        Could the OS be corrupt?

        Can you try to boot from an USB thumb drive?

            Try T2 restore; have seen some of these that boot-loop when T2 gets corrupted.

              Have the same issue, did a T2 restore on one, no water damage. Keeps restarting won’t load unless booting into safe mode. Any ideas?

                  MacBook Pro 2018 - A1990 Dead - not charging - only 5V
                  by robka
                  Hi,

                  my MacBook Pro 15" 2018 Touch Bar (A1990) doesn't charge anymore. Board# 820-01041-A

                  I'm not experienced in diagnostics, but I want to try to solve the problem with your help, because every local shop charges around 600€ (650 usd). Which is the value of the whole Macbook.

                  The Macbook was charging when suddenly the "charging sound" appeared every other second for around 4-5 times.
                  After that the Macbook was dead. It isn't charging anymore.

                  The USB-C Port where the charger was plugged is burned. Also The Cable and the...

                  Macbook Pro A1990 - 820-01041 Stuck at 5V / 0.02A
                  by DATATECH85
                  Hello,
                  I am currently working on a Macbook Pro A1990 (motherboard 820-01041) which is not charging.
                  The Macbook consumes 5V and 0.019A at USB-C. There seems to be a partial short-circuit on the PPBUS_G3H rail as I have 0V on this rail.

                  I've physically separated (by removing F7000 and F7001) PPBUS_G3H and the ISL9240 charging chip to see which side the short is coming from. Removing these fuses gives me 12.6V at the output of the ISL chip (PPVBAT_G3H_CHGR_REG).
                  However, I can't work out exactly why I don't have the PPBUS_G3H rail.

                  Here are the values...

                  Hello guys...

                  I bought MacBook from a garage sale the owner told me that the MacBook was dead and it did not display nothing, at first I thought it was related to a t2 problem so I did the bride OS with my other MacBook I was able to revive it but it did display the apple logo but on the apple configurator the lock symbol was there upon further inspection the MacBook did make the chime sound every time I disconnected the power cable but still it did not show any display also the caps key was able to light up, with nothing else to do i remove the motherboard and found the following...

                  Macbook A1398 - no startup chime, no boot, but have fans and CPU warm
                  by survivalbloke
                  Macbook A1398 - had repeating loop of startup chime with no actual boot. Just startup chime, then restart, start up chime, then restart, etc. I pulled the battery and cleared BIOS. It will now power up, fans on, CPU warming, but no startup chime and no boot. I reflashed the BIOS chip but the same thing happening. Where should I go from here?
