5 volt is the power on default from your external PD adapter. This same voltage should appear on each mated ACE controller on the VBUS pin. Suggest to confirm the USB connector themselves are not without damage -> confirm the mating connectors on the logic board. Test the mating connectors on the logic board in diode mode.
Essentially what this tool is doing - testing each pin in DIODE mode:
i've done a small experiment, soldering a wire on PP20V_USBC_T_VBUS line and injecting 1v...i can read without problem 1v on the connector...so the line from the motherboard connector to the opposite site of the connector is ok,..
but when i insert the cable, there is no voltage at all, power meter doesn't power on, neither by-3200s that show 0v @ 0a
Good discovery. The USB-C paddle boards are inexpensive and simple to replace. In the USA / Canada, there is Mobile Sentrix and Aliexpress otherwise or donor boards.
