SUCCESS!!! Replaced those burned components and a few more that were shorted on the logic board and this is the result. I want to give a big shout out and THANK YOU to CapLeaker, SAM_SAM_SAM and Petehall347 for all your help and dedication. You guys are absolutely amazing and I could not have done this without you. THANK YOU!!

the parts were in the area i suspected earlier on .i have never seen one of these units in front of me so i could only guess the general area like around an mcu. i should have said look for the clock crystal that's there in most cases next to them .would have been good to know what caused the damage whether it being bad design or bad quality parts etc etc . .

They were right next to the crystals. The parts I replaced were:
3 mosfets (SOT-23) One was burned and the other two were shorted.
4 shorted diodes (One was burned) (SOD-323)
3 zener diodes (should have been SOD-323 but I used through hole wire leads instead)
I had trouble with the zener diodes trying to figure out the marking whether it was "WI" or "W1". neither of these made any sense because my research showed the WI is 12v and W1 is 2.7v but when I found some good ones on the board and tested them, they measured 3.4v and 3.7v. So I had some 3.6v through hole zeners so I just bent the leads and soldered them to the pads. Looks like it did the trick.Last edited by mitsu2k; 12-05-2023, 10:06 PM.
