SMC PANIC - SMC BSC failure, which component is causing this?

Hi, I have a 16 Pro Max which did get some liquid inside. It now goes in kernel panic.

The cause of the kernel panic is SMC BSC failure with sensor array 0-7 is 0, 3145728, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.

I was checking the iFixit page with the different hex codes but it has not been updated for the 16 Pro Max. I saw somewhere that the issue is the charging port flex, could anyone confirm? By the way I will check how much damage there is inside before ordering a new charging port flex.

Answer this question I have this problem too
