    A2289 820-01987 cannot restore T2

    I have this unit in small amount of spillage around charging IC, ppbus low 1.5v repaired that issue now getting 20V .3ma 11v ppbus. I cannot get this to restore or revive t2 even using SE032 method. I can see its in DFU mode but just errors at the end.
    Screen shows logo and full progress bar for a second or so then errors on host machine and unit still dead. Any ideas?

      Macbook Pro A2338 820-02020 Stuck on RESTORE MODE
      by lab10.haifa
      Good day, friends. Got this problem with M1 macbook - it starts, chimes, tries to boot and stuck with a message "support.apple.com/mac/restore"
      It works with DFU mode, but it's cannot be restored. With "revive" function - same problem. Internal restore mode doesn't work, as well as Internet Recovery.
      There is no damage on the motherboard. No short circuits.
      Could it be a NAND problem? (but usually, if NAND is dead - mac simply wouldn't turn on)
      Thanks....

      Macbook Pro A2289 MXK62LL/A (661-14770) - No Startup
      by Flasman90
      Hi everyone - first time poster on here looking to embark on my first repair! Thank you in advance for any help!

      My Macbook only turns on when the charger is plugged in and only the trackpad and fans show signs of life. The display, caps lock light and touchbar do not turn on. There was previous liquid damage to the touchbar but after cleaning and drying the laptop was operational for a year without any issues. There doesn't seem to be any sign of liquid damage to the board, at present.

      What I have done so far:

      - All of the routine diagnostic methods including...

      Macbook Pro DFU Restore Issues
      by Flasman90
      I have a 2020 Macbook Pro A2289 and after many attempts managed to get it into DFU mode, using my older 2017 A1706 Macbook Pro (Running Ventura 13.7.8). However, when attempting 'Restore', it fails at step 4 of 4, showing the following error:

      - "The operation couldn’t be completed. (AMRestoreErrorDomain error -1 - Failed to handle message type StatusMsg (Generic error)) [AMRestoreErrorDomain – 0xA (10)]
      - "The system cannot be restored on this device. Failed to create new state machine for restore [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore - 0xFB1 (4017)]

      A2338 820-02020-A 5V, no screen, unable to revive/restore
      by yheriatovych
      Hi. I need some help troubleshooting the issue (which is a bit odd to my limited experience) with the A2338 Macbook.

      Initial symptoms:

      One day the laptop refused to wake up (as it seemed at first), spinning the fan on full blast, with no picture on the screen.
      Force rebooting didn't help. To check if it boots at all I connected the external display and surprisingly it booted to the system, and I was able to log in to the system.
      However, I noticed that it was in some weird state:
      • The fan was still blasting at full speed. It's blasting even when the system
