I have a liquid damaged 820-00164-a board here

no green/orange light
was not booting, cleaned up r7005 area where there was corrosion, also corrosion near f7140
f7140 showing .3ohms may be hardware resolution

Sorry if i am misunderstanding,
I removed r8430 and it tests within spec.
This issue was present on the previous hard drive, present on new ssd, also happens in boot menu, and asd.
Would this computer be covered under the gpu recall program even though there are no graphics issues?
or are you...
This board shows no obvious liquid damage.
Hard drive was replaced by ssd.
Running new os install.
asd showed 2 errors Error 28 mux switching failed and battery not sealed
customer previously replaced battery with generic battery, I do not have a genuine test battery for this macbook.

Shorting pins 10&11 has no effect on PPBUS_G3H.
It also is slowly dropping in voltage until near zero, then green light re appears and board powers on.
Replaced q7085 and the issue is unchanged.
Possible liquid damage but has been ultrasonically cleaned before i took a look at it.
works normally when running on the battery
when the green light finally does come on it charges completely fine and operates normally.
when battery is connected. battery has to be removed and let sit before...
Turns out that was the case, as soon as the board cooled down from heating in that area, the board stopped powering.
i have a q7180 from a 820-2915 turns out it was the same component. Swapped, powers on battery is charging. This case is solved.
Thank you guys so much! i had sat this...
I just pulled q7180 and inspected, there was a bit of corrosion between one of the pads on the chip and the board, i cleaned and reseated, and now it is working, is this possibly a case of heating a transistor making it temporarily work or is it possible that the corrosion was the culprit?
computer had liquid damage
works completely fine on battery but will not power on with charger, will not charge battery
I don't see any obvious corrosion points and have finished an ultrasonic on the machine.
I am at a loss of what to check. I know the PP18V5_DCIN is very low but cant find...
