Symptoms

  • MacBook not turning on
  • Drawing 0.00A at 5V (No current draw)

Solution

PP3V3_G3H is most likely shorted to ground with a 0–1 Ω short, most likely due to bad capacitor. When PP3V3_G3H is directly shorted to ground, it won't produce heat—the PP3V3_G3H power IC is smart enough, usually, when it detects a straight 0 Ω short, to just turn off.
