Someone has been inside of this thing before me and removed a couple of voltage regulators. Another voltage regulator was burnt. It turned out that the microcontroller is dead, so the unit is beyond repair.
Really like your videos! Pedantic language tip: ground is usually referred to without "the" in English as in "shorted to ground" not "shorted to the ground"
Agreed. My GE weather station had the humidity sensor go bad. I found the part number somehow & it cost more than the station. I found a way into GE component division & asked for a sample & they sent me one no charge.
I guess it's the same as those M1 Macbook Pro's where the SSD power supply IC shorts and sends 14V straight to the 2.5V memory chips, ie, $1K+ damage - ouch -.
I wonder if power was applied in reverse using the wrong AC adapter, that might explain the multiple almost short circuits and possibly failed higher voltage regulators.
