Dear @phanudej ,

I liked your post. I’d have a remark and a question. I made a mistake during the maintanance; with wich I killed a part of the MOBO. So dear users my advice if you want to connect the LCD connector remove the battery before… I had never this issue but now happened. (the device was switched off)

Could you please take a photo of the powerstage of the LCD (I think it should be that) So between the inductor (100; 10uH coil) and an capacity there is a component I do not know what is it (it smoked away) I assume it is a diode…?! They are in the white rectangle near the LCD connector

Thanks in advance

Best regards
