PM_BATLOW_L 3.26v

PM_DSW_PWRGD 3.35v
PCH_DSWVRMEN 2.46v
"Trigger SMC_ONOFF_L" never did this, can you explain? Sorry for lack of knowledge.
I have to short SMC_ONOFF_L to ground and measure voltage drop on PM_PWRBTN?
Amber light - yes
G3H - 8.49v
3V42_G3H - 3.38v
3V3_S5 3.29v Steady
3V3_SUS - 3.29v Steady
Looks like prior liquid damage was around backlight and some caps on 3v42_G3H
820-3437-b Board came with prior liquid damage few months ago, fixed at the time.
Customer came few days ago with not booting macbook air, i checked and noticed that there is no 5V S3 and 5v S0 also.
5v S5 present.
Was poking around and applied heat to SMC around 200c for diagnostic purpose...
when board is on, i am getting 3.3v on PP3V3_S4 on the J4810, when i check on the keyboard side same line it is 1.62v, should it be like this?
it does not give me a short, diode mode read is 0.434v, when flex is out there is continuity between pins, when flex is in there is no continuity but...
when machines is powered on(open lid), 5V_S0 present everywhere, also Pin 1/19/20 of J4810, fan still not spinning. Last time i was checking with closed lid.
I noticed if i hold multimeter on pin 1 for like 1-2 minutes, 5V_S0 vill go to 2v-1v-4v-0v and then again to 5v in that time at least once...
yes, i understand that.
In PDF that is called PP5V_S0_KBD, in boardview just PP5V_S0. Pin 19/20 on J4810.
What could be cause of its disappearing from J4810?
Got 00840-a here, came originally with jam filled keyboard, got new assembly, some (jam) marks around wifi, cleaned, reflowed.
Everything works except keyboard. Boots up, trackpad fine, wifi, sound etc.
Checked PP5V_S0, i am getting 5v there till i hear the dong(chime) from speakers and then fan...
i have tried 3 different Flex/LIO boards.
Replaced J9500
All HDA Pins reads ok, diode mode close to working board.
all i have left is to "just in case" replace all resistors on HDA lines and if thats not working thats mean its CPU?
Or hardwire 4 HDA lines from J9500 to Flex?
I changed J9500, no luck.
i cannot measure HDA_RST_L when board is inside the housing, but when it is out it is 0v.
R1310 33ohm
R1311 33ohm
R1312 33ohm
R1313 33ohm
Noticed that outside the housing fan spins at max rpm, with one I/O board it is gradually starting to increase speed till maxes...
originally, corrosion was around u7701, u5000 and u7100.
I cleaned it all, is there something around SMC that is sound related, that i could have missed?
Check if caps/resistors exist on these lines.
I checked all components and lines, all intact.
