It's alive! Thank you so much for all your help.
Apple wanted $400+ to replace the logic board, ebay had it for $200+ but at the end it ended up being a $5 fix for capacitor + shipping. All thanks to this forum and the wonderful contributors. š

My apologies for the cross posting, I created a new post with a link to this but the two seem to have gotten merged somehow
I remove C6553 and the resistance between F7000 and ground increased significantly into mega Ohms. Now when the power is connected after negotiation, it jumps up to 20v , 1A. I'm waiting for the replacement capacitor, once that is in place, I'll put the board back and see if it boots up.
Thanks for all your help so far.

Starting a new thread, the concern on the original thread changed and did not want to mix them up, continuation of

I applied 2v(1v did nothing) to F7000 and noticed 2.5amp draw. The hotspot was C6553. I did not see any increased heat at any of the DRMOS near the CPU, should I be applying voltage at a different place to test the DRMOS?
Thank...

I think the board is toast. I did not get to check with thermal camera yet, I plan to do it just to experiment and learn.
I see that resistance between TP_PPBUS_HS_CPU and TP_PPVCC_S0_CPU is ~9ohms which leads to me to think one of the DRMOS U7210 - U7230 is shorted.
To determine which DRMOS is shorted, should I introduce voltage @ one of the PPBUS_G3H fuses?reformatt

Thank you [USER="295753"]mon2[/USER].
Looks like the coils around the CPU are L72xx, L73xx, is that right? If so, the resistance between PPBUS_G3H and these coils is between 6 - 14 ohms
LA340, LA640, LA650 - 6.3 onms
L7211, L7221 and L7231 - 8.2 ohms
L7410, L7420 - 13.9 ohms
Also the measurements in my previous post and this one are with the board removed with no other peripherals attached.
Thank you.mon2

Visually everything looks good including the C9081.
Few questions...I'm having tough time finding where the CPU coils are, help please, a part# or TP# or something I can lookup in FlexBV.reformattThanks [USER="302067"]reformatt[/USER].

Dead 2018 Macbook Pro A1990 820-01041-07 stuck at 5V 0A
First time looking at a logic board this closely, learnt enough from videos and forums here to be dangerous
I was doing a OS update when the screen went blank at some point. Does not seem to be in DFU mode (checked using apple configurator).
PPDCIN_G3H is 5.16Vā
PPBUS_G3H is 0.045V
Resistance between TP_PPBUS_G3H and ground is 23.8 Ohms (which seems low)
F7000 and F7001 seems fine.
From what I learnt seems like there might be short on the down side on PPBUS_G3H.
Is injecting low voltage and see what...
