Also apparently the P13USB IC can also cause charging issues if dead, so I think I need to check for shorts round that too.

Wow, they'd need to be pretty rough with it to do that!!

Yes, correct.

M92T36 removed: IMG20240412135713.jpg And the short, which was via the 4th cap up on the LHS of the IC, has now gone.

However, looking at the board with my thermal camera, the charging control IC, M92T36 is getting hot, enough to evaporate IPA, an...

OK then...

I really do dispair sometimes, but I suppose at least you have it now.

The only issue is that the left hand margin is controlled by a value set in ROM, and if I swap to a different display, the margin is off the left hand side. I can do different ROMS that work with different displays, but i...
