    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 Pro 2018 A1989 820-00850-A Stuck at 5.00V and 0.150A
        by MyronViegas
        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...

        Hey guys i just got myself a Macbook Pro A1989 820-00850-a 2018, the seller said they had spilt liquid over it and since then it has never turned on.

        I am using a Apple 61W USB-C Power Adapter and USB-C Charge Cable and on my USB tester i can see when i plug into the power i get around 5.21V and stays at 0.24amps. I am currently testing disconnected from the battery and only plugged into the USB-C Charge Cable.

        When opening the machine I was greeted with corrosion on, in and around, in particular the U3100 (USB-C PORT CONTROLLER XA) and U3200 (USB-C PORT CONTROLLER XB)...

        MacBook A1989 No power

        Hi,

        I’m having an issue with an A1989 board after water damage, it’s stuck at 5V 0.20A. I’ve checked the measurements, and all readings are the same across all four CD3215 chips. I replaced them one by one (using chips from a donor board), but nothing has changed.

        I don’t need a fully functional board, as the repair is only for data recovery purposes.

        Macbook A1989, 820-00850, won't boot. 20V, 0A.
        by PITERPENY
        Today I have a MacBook A1989 at work 820-00850. When assembled, the laptop switches to 20 volts but the consumption is 0.00 ampere. if the motherboard is on the table then the consumption of all ports is 5 volts and0.35 amperes and does not go to 20 volts only if you assemble a MacBook.
        Here are some measurements, maybe someone can tell what the problem is.
        The initial problem was a burnt out induction coil L8504 (replaced).
        When connected to another MacBook, it constantly hangs in dfu and cannot install updates, something is wrong.
        here are some measurementsmotherboard...
