    Hardware Tracking down a short to ground

    I've got a switch which had the USBc absolutely destroyed on it. Pin 18 and 6 (VDDIO and VSVR) on M92T36 are shorted to ground which I'm fairly certain should not be the case. The cap above P13USB is also shorted. I've removed P13USB, M92T36 and BQ.... Without any change to the short to ground...

    Hardware Help...I feel like I may have biffed my SD connector for the switch.

    Stupid question. Are you putting the foam piece back on top of the connector AND are you installing the screw for your SD card reader? Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Hardware Water damaged switch's fan is buzzing

    Lol sorry. Couldn't resist. Make sure connector pins don't have corrosion. Have seen some funky stuff on liquid damaged consoles. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Hardware Dust issues

    Didn't see the picture until now. Definitely open it up and clean out that heat sink. No way around it really; compressed air through the fan won't help as the air inlet is not a straight through design - also this could be dangerous from an electrical standpoint, too. Sent from my Pixel 2...

    Hardware Dust issues

    Personally think you should replace thermal compound and clean. If it's getting hot that usually indicates poor thermal transfer from CPU to heat sink.

    Hardware Switch touch only working in certain spots on the digitizer

    As far as I can tell, yes. Fairly certain there are different iterations of digitizer. I have tried moving the caps from one board to another, didn't seem to work. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk

    Hardware Switch touch only working in certain spots on the digitizer

    There are different versions of game card reader. Look here. Not sure if you can add those components and gain the screen functionality back but I am certain this is your issue as I have had this as well. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
