For this kind of stuff,I normally do removing the big vcc main coil near the charging ic to check whether the short is in the ic itself or somewhere else.If the short is not in the ic, I inject voltage in the 2nd point of the coil .Most of the cases I find a shorted cap in the rf section.
Mark, first I'd like to thank you for this video. Next, I'd just like to give you the simple suggestion of please considering some kind of disclaimer in explaining the importance of solder fume extraction since there are health risks associated with exposure to solder fumes.
Oh and we don't mind mistakes, mistakes are kinda good, makes us plebs realize we're not the only ones mucking things up 😅 - As long as mistakes are pointed put as such, it's all good learning.
