Hi there. No, because I've tested five different Wi-Fi chips of the same model and the issue persists, so it can't be the Wi-Fi chip... thanks for the reply.
Hi, I have the same problem. There is no voltage on the 1.8V rail; the short circuit disappears when I desolder the Wi-Fi chip, but it returns when I solder it back on. Did you manage to fix the issue? Regards.
