A2141 MacBook Pro 16" Turns on but no life, holds charge.

Customer computer came in, did a DFU revive, no luck, gives error, swapped out battery with two known working batteries still no luck. Board gets 20Volts, raises up to 1Amp then restarts, track pad clicks etc. Tried DFU restore, informed the customer that data recovery is most likely not possible since it didn't give us a revive and DFU restore was the next method to save the board, however it looks like not even DFU Restore is working as well. What could be causing this? I am assuming this is the infamous A2141 flaw that has the flawed Data lines that fail? Any suggestions would be great.

Update: put thermal camera and found a shorted Cap. Will update with my findings.

Repaired, shorted cap. Board works now. No liquid damage just a bad find.
