Having trouble with this board, cant figure out why it's not working.
So
PP3V42_G3H - 3,42V (Working properly)
PPBUS_G3H - 8,2V (As i understand this means U7000 is not communicating with SMC?)
SYS_ONEWIRE - 1V (Nothing is connected to LIO)
SMC_BC_ACOK - 3,4V

Done so far:
Replaced R6905 (It was 190ohm when i got the board)
Replaced LCD connector (pins 3, 4 where corroded to oblivion)
Replaced C6996, C6997 (They were corroded)

Notes:
1) Charger is 100% working.
2) When plugging in this charger to charge other working macbook air, green light lights up for 1-2 seconds, then it turns into orange light and macbook starts to charger. Now after this, when i plug this charger into my board, light actually lights up but after some time it just fades away, never to come back. And to get it to light up again, you have to plug it in the working macbook air again.
3) Board looks very clean, only corrosion i found was near u6990 i properly cleaned it and replaced faulty components.

Ops forgot, there was just a teeny tiny amount of green junk near U9410
All contacts look clean, but i am gonna clean it tomorrow. No time left for today.
Thanks for your help ;)

"SYS_ONEWIRE - 1V (Nothing is connected to LIO)"
Normal, SYS_ONEWIRE is pulled-up on LIO board.

"2) When plugging in this charger to charge other working macbook air, green light lights up for 1-2 seconds, then it turns into orange light and macbook starts to charger.

This is normal behavior too; just a memory effect...

SYS_ONEWIRE circuit is entirely located on the LIO board.
Take this schematic as example and check U6900/01.

First of all check basic SMC power rails and signals (SMC_RESET_L, etc), 3V3_SUS, 3V3_S5...

Here you go
SMC_RESET_L - 3.16V
PP3V3_SUS - 0V (Measured at C6100, no short to ground)
PP3V3_S5 - 0,26V (Measured ar R7956, 150kOhms)

Did this very quickly before work, Will update this closer to evening. I am located in EUROPE,
Thanks!

Okey...
so from what I figured out line from u6900 to charger was broken, I restored it but still no green light.
voltage on sys_onewire and line to adapter from u6900 (line that was broken) are both 3,4V
i think it’s something deeper, tho have no idea

"U4900 block (2 of 2), page 40"
That SMC block has more pins for power and signals...

Check PCH's RTC signals too.
C1802/3 fail a lot on this board...

Reballed SMC
Got orange light on charger, tho no fan spin -_-

update:
tried resetting SMC - didn’t help
PP5V_S0 - 0V

When I plug charger in, it first lights up green, then after 2-3 seconds turn orange.
PPBUS_G3H - 8,4V
PP3V3_SUS - 0V (not shorted to ground)
PP3V3_S5 - 3,3V

OK, SMC runs now.
Do you get PM_SLP_SUS_L?

You didn't check all RTC signals; still missing PCH_iNTRUDER_L and PCH_INTVRMEN.
32KHz comes out from U2700?

PM_SLP_SUS_L - 0V (R7917, R7930 are missing, is This Ok?)
PP3V3_S5 - 3,3V
PCH_INTRUDER_L - 2,9V
PCH_INTVRMEN - 3V
32khz comes from u2700

All the components marked "NO STUFF", are not present...

Check PCH's block "System Power Management", at page 17.
Post SMC_ADAPTER_EN, PM_BATLOW_L, PCH_DSWVRMEN, PM_DSW_PWRGD.
