everything disconnected, only charger, green light goes to orange and cooler don't start spinning. PPBUS_G3H is 8.6v, SMC_ONOFF_L is 3.4v. short to ground SMC_ONOFF_L but nothing happens.
I see such batteries everyday, but if cells are not swollen, only chip locked, I want retrieve to file from principle.

for future repairs:
do you prefer ultrasonic cleaning or better avoid it? I believe I have cleaned to long, about 30mins. liquid was fresh, but lot resistors damaged, I believe...
