Just recently my switch doesn't charge. Nothing.... It was working fine for years. You guys think it's the charging ic? Never had this happen on any of the switches I've had (6). How does this even happen...wtf...

*Update*
Seems like I had an issue with my trinket wiring... The 3v or the usb strap... I removed and resoldered and it's charging again.

Very strange.

Ok so I completely removed and reinstalled a new trinket m0 and all the wires and still draining better very quickly. Like 10% battery in 1 hour in sleep. Is there possibly a blown component? Like resistor or something that I soldered to for the trinket?

This is my 4th unit installing a trinket and first time having a parasitic drain like this.

Strangely enough the 3v on my trinket gives me a reading of 0.5ohms to ground ... This doesn't seem right...it's like a direct short to ground... Is this right?

So it's not my trinket that is the problem. I had noticed about two weeks ago that the charge wasn't keeping as well as it used to before I had started to use an unofficial charger. Ever since then, my switch wasn't the same... That's when I started to investigate and it appears that my switch has suffered damage to the charger IC or the display chip just behind it. I will be replacing them one at a time and documenting my finds here.
