Hi to all,
So today i get to my mail box the pièces, i think i got the max correctly solder but in thé process i Lost two more components (capacitor UP thé max ic and thé one near thé resistor that was already missing )…
I have to do thé resistor too but thé max ic drain a lot of my motivation … I have to wait a little .
What do you think?(I know i burn thé speaker connector more than it was before)
Hi everyone,
I manage to solder everything back , no short ! the battery charge liké a charm !
I put it back to the case, start it , get the sound and … No screen … I look to the LCD connector and its a mess inside …
I order a LCD connector and will try to do my best to put it back …
With the Time and effort i am putting in this , my son have to take Care of his gift ^^
Gotta say I’m amazed this IC is still seemingly working given it’s condition 
LCD connector, bit hard to tell the extent of the damage due to the quality (I think your cam is aliasing the images, maybe due to compression) but you may be able to straighten the pins out with fine tweezers or a sewing needle if you have the patience if your worried about replacing.
Well done overall on getting the thing running again 
Just to add, if it were me I’d be replacing that max IC, replacing the melted connectors, etc for console longevity but if your worried about accidentally causing secondary damage may just be best leaving as is 
I remove it already (LCD connector) i am waiting thé New one to Come.
I was also surprise to sée that thé max77812 ic was still working After all it been throught !
Hi everyone,
Good news ? I manage to solder the LCD connector right (yata)
Bad news ? Still no screen … (I know that the screen is working ) So i décide to test if i get m’y 5V near the LCD connector and thé answer is no .
I start probing everywhere to find where it stop , and but doing so i did something (i dont know what ) but now i have a short between thé coil and the Bq chip and its wont power on …
When i plug the battery , the Bq chip become hot (i think it’s normal since it try to power everything up) and whit no battery i got 15v and 0.012 A …
I dont know what to do now …
