Macbook A1707 / 820-00281 : May it be useable if U2800 is damaged ?

[StephE]

Hello,
does anyone know if this board can be used if U2800 is not in perfect condition ?

Details :
Left side USB-port(s) / U3200 got killed by bad power supply (short on XB_CC1)
Receiving line XB_D2R_N<1> (directly to U2800) also damaged.

Symptoms were : 1 port dead, the other three stayed at 5V/30mA

U3200 removed, now symptoms are :
left : 1 port (XA) stays at 5V/0mA
right : both ports cycling (7 seconds) at 5V/0mA

As far as i know these boards need all four CD3215C00 working to do anything at all.
Does anyone know if there is a chance it may be useable (with right side USB working) if U3200 is replaced, as long as U2800 is damaged ?

Late answer :

Most likely yes with 820-00821

Definitely YES with 820-00928

With all four CD3215 ok and U2800 removed you get a Macbook with two fully working USB-C ports on the right side and two on the left side you can still use to charge the battery.

(Probably a good idea to protect the two good ones/UB000 from further accidents)
