    Trouble with a Macbook Air A2179

    When I got the Macbook it had water damage near the USB controller chips. I cleaned it all up and replaced some ugly looking components. The laptop still won't boot. The only rail I'm not getting, as far as I can tell, is PP5v_G3S. However its my understanding that doesn't come on until the T2 powers up.

    Which I don't think it is because I'm not reading PPVDSCPU_AWAKE at the 1.06V that I believe it is supposed to be. I'm reading only about .7V. I'm also reading continuity to ground on that rail. According to the schematic Vout on that rail is 0.625-1.06V. So I'm not sure if this is a short on that rail preventing the T2 from powering up or not.

    Any thoughts?

    Remove all power. Meter in Diode mode.

    Red meter probe to ground.

    Black meter probe to this point to test.

    What is the reading?

        I have the same Problem, i got a water damage A2179, I replaced U3100 and 3200, measure C6520 (PP5V_G3s) 0v and diode values at 0.030 with the thermal camera U7400 was in short, I replaced this IC but still PP5V_G3S not present, Measure PPBUS_G3H voltage is 12.25 but normal funtion should be a 12.50 No lucky yeat
