Macbook A1706, 820-00239 board with some rather peculiar behaviour.

Most consistent was when plugging in the USB-C power, it would get 20V (good start!) but then start cycling between 100mA and 1.2A ( no battery connected ). This behaviour was present on all ports.

Thermal camera revealed a couple of interesting points on the board but we ended up chasing some red herrings for a bit before zeroing on the true cause.

Stream was ended prematurely because my hands were shaking up too much.
