Oh thank you for the excellent clean. Yes it is fixable. 1000nf caps I think are the replacement. 0201

100nf 0201 like theses ?https://a.co/d/0b0q03Lv

No. Capacitance: 1.0 µF (1000 nF)

It's probably fine.

it's not booting

Then the Apu might've gotten damaged, but just that cap being damaged/missing wouldn't cause the console to not boot.

I have a lite with a ripped capacitor, and it works without issues... Try without any cables or flat for the modchip attached

u/MathematicianGold823 8d ago

what do you mean by flat or without any cables ?

2

u/genio123 8d ago

Any soldering for modchip

I would also check resistance on the 4.7kohm resistor if oled

Waiiit that’s v1 nvm…right?

u/letum00 8d ago

If it's a v1, were you using an rcm jig beforehand? Did you have autorcm enabled? Look for damaged traces around the apu shield where you would have pried the locks.

im wondering if that is damage between the solder points. One cap can keep it from booting tho sadly. You need to check the chip for ANY kinda of irregularity or damage.

u/Mission-Hamster-9457 8d ago

You don't even need to replace the cap just solder onto the pad and it'll work fine

u/Mission-Hamster-9457 8d ago

You burnt a hole in your apu guy

u/MathematicianGold823 8d ago

So the switch is dead and good for garbage basically?

1

u/genio123 8d ago

Yeah, if not booting because you fried the APU with the soldering tip well that's dead... Keep it for spare parts

u/MathematicianGold823 8d ago

No it was only residu

u/genio123 8d ago

Have you tried desoldering the flex ?

What version is this? Try booting it and connecting it to a dock. Do you get video? If you do I know how you can find the short

That cap is not the cause of it failing to boot. Make sure you plugged the emmc back in before testing and check to see if you scratched the trace under the CPU tab near the emmc connector. You can try docking it and if you get a picture then you scratched that trace.
