    Problem solved. The area around R7050 also showed some serious gunk (this part of the board was mentioned in repair wiki). I cleaned everything, looked for corrosion and measured again without finding any problem.
    The board turned from 5v to 20v and the battery is also charging again. But i think it's impossible to tell if a single component made this fault.

        Macbook A2251 820-01949A - 20v not powering on or charging
        by tccyo22
        Hi there, this one has me stumped. Quick back story is this macbook had a very small liquid damage on one side of charge ports which burnt the connector. I've currently got that side of USB ports disconnected and I've replaced the connector and the CD3217 that was stopping the macbook from transitioning to 20v. (It was originally stuck at 5v 0a) and I'm using the other side to diagnose this board.

        I now get 20v and it appears as though the macbook is attempting to boot but it's failing? On connection of usb power I watch the voltage swap from 5v to 20v and sit at 0.1a for 2-3 seconds...

        MacBook Pro 2018 A1989 820-00850-A Stuck at 5.00V and 0.150A

        Hey guys,

        I got a MacBook Pro a1989 820-00850-A dead for repair. The MacBook itself was off for a month or so and it didn't power on. I tested using ammeter and it was stuck on 5v. Opened the machine and found a short on ppbus_g3h, corrosion near the right spkr_amp. removed the spkr_amp and saw short on ppbus_g3h. plugged in to power, boosted to 20v .600A and then back down to .300A. Trackpad was clicking when on .600A but no image etc.

        Later, I tried again but it dropped down to 5v and never boosted back to 20V. checked board again and found ppbus_g3h shorted again....

        Macbook Pro A1989 - No image, working fine with external monitor
        by Madoy104
        Hi everyone,


        I have a MacBook Pro A1989 that was likely exposed to liquid. It doesn't display an image on the built-in screen, but the screen is backlit (you can't see the Apple logo or any other elements when held up to light). The laptop provides 20V and 1.5-2A, and it works fine when I use it with an external monitor. Currently, the connector for the display (J8500) is disconnected. I'm writing to ask for help in diagnosing the issue. I've heard that when the J8500 is exposed to liquid, the processor pin responsible for the display might short-circuit, and I'd like to know...

        MacbooK A1706 not powering after LCD replacement
        by silver60618
        Hi freinds,

        Hoping to get some insight from someone. I was working on a functioning macbook A1706 2016, with a cracked screen. I replaced the screen and the macbook will not power on.

        On amp meter it gets 20v, 1amp
        - cpu begins to warm right away under thermal cam. much sooner than a spare board I have
        - PPBUS is 13v
        - battery was disconnected during LCD install
        - Trackpad click works during power
        - Keyboard caps lock worked once, but I could not reproduce it
        - I have a tester logicboard, boots up fine with that (rules out any component...

        Hi everyone, sometime I opt to do thing by myself to learn how it works; Hi really enjoy the process, especially when someone else expert is teaching

        Here I am for today,
        After changing thermal paste and some clean keyboard with 96% isopropyl, Mac reboots ok. Totally working.

        While doing reset smc just for a fresh restart, Macs turns off. After rebooting it, nothing changes.

        Took it to a repair man shop and find out that, if lcd is connected Mac doesn't start completely (20v, green...
