I got another Intel board that has a problem. I noticed that if the onboard VGA is set to 32MB (wich is the maximum number) the board would fail to boot and making a 2 short followed by 6 even shorter beep. At first I thought that it's because the 2 broken caps (one under the PCIe slot and one above the PCIe slot right below the North Bridge). So I replace the two caps and it would boot once. But when I try too restart the board, it failed to boot again with the same symptoms (the beep). So I try to boot the board while giving a pressure to the North Bridge and walla... It's working... So I think the Bridge needs to be heated again, but I don't have a hot air station. And when I try to look for other clue about what causing the problem, I found that the choke next to the cap I recently replaced is very hot! and the 2 caps that I just replaced and a Mosfet near it are becoming very hot too. So I think that the problem is caused by a failing choke. So, what do you think guys? Is it the choke? How can I repair the choke?

Hello everyone,
I'm facing an issue with a HEG-001 motherboard that is unable to complete the Second-Stage Boot. I'd like to start directly with my conclusion, which is the decision to replace the MAX77621AEWI chip, and understand if it could be a correct evaluation.
Before I dive into the process that led me to this decision, I want to mention that I have a fully equipped lab where I can perform any kind of tests.
Let's begin:
Following some guides online, I tried to understand how the Boot phase of the Nintendo Switch works, and what are the... -

When I unplug/replug the power, it was working fine for a day/half a day or so until it freezes again.
After testing with different power supply adapters and concluding it wasn't the issue I finally opened the case and this was the situation:
Anyway I proceed to clean up the mess and replace all caps but unfortunately it made the situation worse. Now router can't even boot, either it freezes during... -
