I’ve got a 2017 Macbook Pro Model A1708 that won’t boot, reportedly nothing happened just stopped one day. Already tried SMC and PRAM. Can anyone point me to the location of the power pads on the logic board, please? thank you

The TouchID models don’t offer power pads ;-{ It’s a more advanced power logic which uses the buttons logic to tell the SMC logic to turn on. The data key held in the button is what tells SMC it is the valid button to allow the system to start. You really need a USB-C power meter to check the system. Often the USB-C power drivers get damaged you can learn more on Louis Rossmann YouTube vids for your system.
