Ps4 slim 2 second blue light of death (BLOD)

My ps4 died in a storm (maybe lightning strike). The hdmi chip had a hole so i removed that and got a new power supply; now ps4 is on 2 second BLOD. I havent replaced the hdmi ic as there is no white light.

All DJ diodes (shown in red circle, 3 in the bottom, 1 on the top (no photo) ) have blown and so is the 22 ohm resistor near hdmi port. I removed all of them.

The 5v sot23-5 LDO is giving out 9V and maybe that took out these diodes, the 2.2V LDO on the left is fine. I removed the 5V LDO, and noticed the enable pin pad (from pin 35 of syscon?!?!) is showing 2 ohms to ground. I lifted syscon chip but still the pad is ground.I have checked almost all capacitors for any short. I need help with the enable pad as syscon is not responsible for the ground. I havent injected power as it is a last resort. Also i don't have a thermal camera, so i could potentially cause further damage.

Hdmi port area 5V LDO removed

Edit: the trace runs to pin 2 of this ic also, shown below. I removed this ic still the pad has only 2 ohms to ground.

PS4 BLOD refers to an indefinitely pulsing blue light. Turning back off in 2 seconds is different. I wish I could be of more help, but it sounds like you have a better idea of what's going on.

@dushku no problem dan. I am also not a tech guy all these info i got from YouTube and using a multimeter.

But there is one more thing maybe you can help me with. I am trying so hard thinking this board is a 9.00 or below firmware. Is there any way to check the firmware from the hard drive? I don't want to remove the nor chip unnecessarily

Since there is no suggestion i went ahead and tried injecting voltage. It is not a dead short. So at 1v i get only 0.4A draw. At 1.8V i get 0.6A draw. At 2.5V i get 0.8A draw. None of which is enough to cause a heat spot i guess. I don't want to bump the voltage any further :(

Through voltage injection i found the issue to be the apu power controller ic ir35211a. Replaced it with same model and the ps4 is back to life.

Further bumped the voltage injection and heat noticed in vrm area. The IR(or IOR)35211A power controller ic was getting heated up. Removed it and the short is gone. Waiting for spare, will take a while.
