Hardware Nintendo Switch Pink Screen & Shorted Capacitors

[Nintendoo]

Hello! I bought a Switch with the intention of repairing it, it said it had a pink screen on Ebay, and in reading up on that, it seemed like it would be an easy fix, just needed a new IC charging chip (m92t36). However in opening up and probing around with a multimeter, a whole bunch of capacitors were shorted to ground on, under and around the Nvidia processor which makes me think it's not the IC chip, but the processor that is faulted. Anybody have experience with this issue? Am I outta luck? I don't want to buy a new chip if that's not the issue. This is my first repair attempt so any help would be super greatly appreciated.

No fix for this.

You can pull the large caps off and the console should work. It certainly won't last long this way though.

Dang! Paid $80 for it, was thinking it would be an easy fix.
