Symptoms

  • MacBook not turning on
  • current draw of 0.11A at 20V as shown by USB-C meter

Solution

PP2V5_NAND_SSD0 can be shorted (in this case, PPBUS_G3H luckily didn't go to SSD)

I replaced SSD buck converter but the short was still there, found a shorted cap on the other side of the board C9088 which relieved the short on PP2V5_NAND_SSD0
