silly 2015 mbp 13" situation today, no force touch (touchpad worked otherwise) and it only turned on intermittently with the touchpad connected... turns out this random capacitor on the bottom of the touchpad daughterboard was visibly burnt, and immediately crumbled into powder when i squished it with pliers. now it boots reliably and force touch is back?? not complaining, lol
