Hardware Switch won't turn on

[Agilato]

3/4 speed is too much, you will blow small components out of alignment, guessing that's what happened judging by the picture. About half speed or just under half seems to be good from what I have seen (not my own experience but from watching soldering videos on YouTube), having a steady hand is also important (caffeine is a no no)

I agree that 3/4 to much, but most elements and pad he lost trying to prepare pads with thick solder tip.
Usually i clean PCBs with q-tips and 99% IPA does 90% of the jobs, plus easy to see performance on the tip.
I Use brush only for finishing between pads of chips and only in pair with KIMTECH fiber-less Wipes.
Other way brush itself doesn't clean... just creates huge mess, you need something to absorb the flux and IPA residue.

I can't find the 10nf 25v 0201 caps. Can I use something different?

What is going on with chip? is it secured and all pads properly soldered?
No rush you will get it, first time always a bit shaky and worrying =)

Look for 10nf or 0.01uf or 10000pf there all the same just expressed differently.

Can someone send me an Amazon/eBay link to those? And also for the resistor please?

Edit: I managed to find the resistors

I'm not a repair shop or something.
They only ship to companies.

I’m not a repair shop but they ship to me

Well.... They don't like me then

I’ve had it for years I can’t remember when I created it

Well, it took some time to get to this point.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me to get here.
What do you think about these solder joints?

Hi,
In my opinion I would realign the chip because it is not correctly positioned...

Stfu, this took hours lul.
Seriously, why do you think it's misaligned?

You have shorted caps, and chip need alignment.
It's damn hard without proper magnification when you don't have an experiance.
If you prepare chip placement pads correctly surface tension must do all the job.
I wouldn't turn it on.
I bet you learned a ton working on this project.

Can you show me how it has to be aligned?
It looks alright to me, except for some nm or something which shouldn't be a problem.
And yes, I've learned a lot working on this. I never worked on this size of SMD components before.

 

[ds34]

You said that I should also check the USB chip. Can you tell me what I should check for?

 

[SlegBE]

You did a good job to replace all missing components that were blowed.
I know it is difficult to find the good feeling with chip alignment when you begin with this kind of component. But you should really try to realign the chip.

See picture attached for your chip aligment. Can you please send us pictures to see the other faces of the chip ?

You can check if there is no more shorts on PI3USB (see picture) and also nearby M92T36.
I have doubt on picture quality regarding capacitors spacement (see attached)

Please double check these points before powering the motherboard to avoid burning components and maybe ruine you motherboard.

You’ll need to put that ic back where it belongs or you’ll have no 3.3 volts anywhere.

 

[ds34]

I tried to push it back using loads of flux and 420°C, air at lowest speed.
How can I check for shorts?
Edit: THE ATTACHED PICTURE IS OUTDATED

 

[ds34]

The green marked ones are present and I still have to install them.
Does anyone know which kind the red marked one is?

 

[ds34]

The M92T36 looks gorgeous now except for some scratches (I know that it's still missing loads of components, but I think I can fix this Switch)

Is this a problem?
