Hello !

A customer brought me 2 Nintendo Switch Lite with the exact same problem. The customer asked me to replace both Type-C ports because his kids damaged them.

After the USB replacement, both consoles didn't charge, drawing only 0.10A on the ampmeter. I thought BQ24193 was damaged as usual. The capacitor highlighted was indeed shorted so I removed the BQ24193 and the "shorted" cap from the board but even after this the short was still present.

After some testing I found that all pins on the battery connector were shorted to ground. At the back of the motherbord I found another capacitor shorted near a component with this label : +17050

I removed this component and all shorts on the motherboard disappeared. I was able to find the same component on a gen 1 Nintendo Switch board and after the replacement, the battery charged normally.

Since then I had this exact same problem on another Switch Lite and the same chip was damaged. I hope this could help someone !

    I wanna grab a 360 Slim and a 360 E one of these days. Missed the boat of getting them at their lowest though, once they were discontinued. Could've got them for cheap back when I was a broke 20 something working at Target, but then again, I was a broke 20 something working at Target
