ok I'm stupid, I'm getting 5.187 volts .084 amp with battery and display only plugged in. I "assumed" J8500 was the display, the display is J4401. Sorry
Just one I got off Amazon. Product Model J7-c , Product Name: USB Digital Tester

I have a A1707 15" Touch MacBook Pro that won't boot.... 99% of the time.
When I put the USB meter on it, I can see it got from 5.1v to 19.85v almost immediately and pull 0 amps.
I've pulled the board and done a lot of checks but still at a...
