Hi,
I have here an A1989 with no image/no backlight.
Water damage:

Note:
- External display shows image - so the internal GPU is working fine.
- " EDP_INT_AUX_N " = 0.007 (diode mode) / 3.4ohms to ground - Is the CPU bad?
- Heat shield on LCD getting warm (IMG_0615.jpg)

Hi Morten,
thanks for your reply! :)
Sadly the topcase got already replaced by apple, the issue is still there.
No important data on it, so I have a new donor board. :)
LCD, TouchBar and TouchID (board) disconnected but it won’t show up anything on the external display.
Now I have the TouchBar and TouchID (board) disconnected but it’s the same behavior while restoring via “Internet Recovery” - Result Error -2003F.
Tried it but still won't show up in "Disk Utility" or via command "sudo diskutil list".
Yeah DFU restore is working fine :/ After the restore I get a "question mark" symbol, which is normal.
When I connect an USB drive (with macOS installer on it, used the tutorial from apple) why does it go...
Picture "4.jpg" is the U3701 (WiFi/BT Chip).
Yeah I can enable the "Target Disk mode" (via "T") but the disk wont show up on my second mac (MacBook Pro M1).
Already checked in hard disk utility only the internal SSD of the working mac is available.
Note: Connected via OEM apple cable (not THB).

After removing/replacing the broken stuff (caps, 94AGTJIELC180) and cleaning the corrotion the device booted fine .... it also worked for 2 whole days.
But after...
I have now checked the following pads under the U6400. (diode mode)
- PP1V8_S0_SPKKRAMP_AVDD = 0.328
- SPKRAMP_L_AREG = OL
- SPKRAMP_L_DREG = OL
- I2S_SPKRAMP_L_R2D = 0.487
- I2S_SPKRAMP_L_BCLK = 0.488
- I2S_SPKRAMP_L_D2R_R = 0.499
- I2S_SPKRAMP_L_LRCLK_R = 0.488
- SPKRAMP_INT_L = 0.466

Turn on "verbose" mode so you can exactly see what is causing the slow OS boot.
1. Turn off mac.
2. Turn on mac and hold "CMD + V"
3. Boot Command Line should appear
