funny enough I opened up mine and all of the chips had been resoldered before and they all had some oxidation on them i cleaned them all off and plugged it back in. nothing. so i kept on looking and eventually said fuck it im gonna reflow all of them anyways (first solder job ever) i figured if its broke no harm and as i reflowed the last chip it moved after the first side and i realized it wasnt seated added some solder after seating it and boom i have a working cluster again. Thanks dude really helped out with a 2:30 AM repair.
Dang, realizing a component is lost can be a nightmare. As you know with modern smd boards, these are the size of a grain of dust, impossible to find if you lose one. For guys who do these every day, they can go to another board, identify what is missing and swap parts over. Not so for us in the DIY world, even getting wiring diagrams can be problematic. I snagged a microscope, but right now it is little more than a toy to learn the techniques of microsoldering. Great job!
On the left side of the cluster, there's two mosfets, above a transformer. I need to find the value of the silver resistor to the left of those mosfets, is there any way you can help me find that? I tried to pull one from a good cluster and it broke so now i need to find 2
