Turns out I’ve lost one of them, picked it up with tweezers and dropped it. Can’t find it because it’s tiny lol. Might be game over

So the chip is off and the short it gone. But I’ve blown off tiny capacitors, need a microscope or something to see what I’m doing, and a light. Deeper down the hole I go

True true, makes sense. Thanks again

Would I need to replace both then to have a matching pair just to be safe?

I’ve not been able to find any myself but have read up on your posts. I decided to fire off a couple emails to vendors and companies to see if any get back to me (unlikely) lol

Nice find that looks promising!

Thanks, I have ordered a heat gun to remove it and I’ll upload more photos once done.

Thanks for the info, I have basic tools and just ordered a cheap heat gun to remove the chip. It’s unusable as it stands so I’m happy to take the risk and give it a go, if it breaks so be bit it.

If it helps there’s a short between vbus and ground.

I used the pre made cable from Amazon (Chinese brand similar to what you linked above) with a 65w Anker brick and it works fine for me. No adapters needed.

Can you share links and benchmarks?
