820-00840 Stuck on 5V

Hello. Got an 820-00840 that was negotiating 19V with charger but drawing just 0.02A. During measuring I slipped the probe of the multimeter and burned the PP3V3_G3H_VR circuitry and no 19V anymore obviously. I managed to fix the 3V3 circuit and board is giving 3.3V again but still no 19V. On USBXCA I get steady 5.1V, 0.03A. On USBCXB I also get 5.1V 0.03 amps but it keeps resetting my charger. I thought maybe U3200 was dead and replaced it, still same behavior. Verified all caps around U3200 and U3100 and there are no shorts. Any ideas?

Compare diode mode readings on LDO rails of both CD3215 chips.
When you slipped the probe multimeter, did you accidentally inject high voltage into 3V3_G3H rail?

Probably. It’s been days ago I did it. I was waiting for stencil to arrive to replace CD3215 from donor board as I did have good CD3215 and did not have the stencil for it. I’ll diode mode and post back

PP3V3_UPC_XA_LDO - 0.172
PP3V3_UPC_XB_LDO - 0.475(strange!)

this is the only LDO line that is giving inconsistency between U3100 and U3200

Change U3100, as first suspect.
If still the same, follow that power rail; be aware, it changes the name few times.

The very basic ones, to wake up the PMIC; VINLDO3, LDO3V/5V, VREF1V25.
Also check SHUTDOWN*, ACOK and V3P3A_RTC.

VINLDO3 = 13V
PP3V3_LDO3V = 3.3V
PP5V_LDO5V - 5V
VREF1V25 - 1.248V
PMIC_SHUTDOWN_L = 3.345V
SMC_PM_G2_EN = 3.41V
PP3V1_RTC = 3.088V

As all signals appear to be OK, I assumed PMIC was bad and replaced it from a donor board, but still same! There's a chance the other board got a bad PMIC too though...

I think it's giving a pulse yes, but my multimeter is not so fast to catch it properly. I notice a little variation on voltage though... R7883 is good.

I'm measuring on Pin 1 of R7890 because U7890 is BGA. It seems to pulse. I leave the multimeter probe on R7890 with charger disconnected and it stays steady on 0.00V. When I plug in the charger and it negotiates 20V with the board I get a peak of around 150mV for a fraction of second and it comes back to 0.00V again on my multimeter. I do not have oscilloscope here, so cannot measure it precisely. But it seems to pulse.
