    A2159 no power on

    Good morning everyone.
    We have a MacBook A2159 with 820-01598 motherboard that was in contact with liquids (Cola) and had troubles to power on (of course).
    After a good cleaning it power on without problems but does not recognize the SSD (that are on-board chips).
    Since the T2 grid was contamined with the Cola we opened it up with the dremel and cleaned inside there too.
    We made no damage, since we used a tiny blade, but now the mac does not power on anymore.
    Looking at other threads here almost all the main voltages are present (if I haven't missed other important one), also the 3.3v on the power on switch, but nothing.
    We have read that the Mac could be in DFU mode and there are some questions about.
    Before all, I would ask which power lines I should check first, and then, about the DFU, how can we check if it's in DFU?
    Do we need a special cable (es. Thunderbolt)?
    We have a M2 ARM MacBook for diagnostic (we are Apple IRP), is compatible or we have to use an Intel one?

    Thank you.

    What is the current draw from the external power adapter?

      Oh, well. We've just plugged the mb to check the current from the external adapter (1.27Ah) and it started up...
      What could been?
      Now we have just to figure why SSD is not recognized.
