        rt7297ah on first foto is clearly see... the pcb is simmilar to r7800 model also.
        For other foto, these are switching ic also but in qfn-20 package, you may try to do few better sharp pics, respect to ic marking, before cleaning, and then also after cleaning with ipa. This may reveal one char more... but...
        If all chip are on common input power rail, and share it, be sure to output of any individual chip is not shorted with its input, otherwise your router cpu is probably baked internaly.

              UPNP, "Standards" and hardware that implements it
              by EasyGoing1
              I've been writing a program in Java that is really just a robust front end for the use of GitHiub Gists, providing a nice interface for developers to organize, maintain and access code snippets that we tend to need from time to time in our different projects.

              One of the features of the program is the ability for people to share their Gists with others who use the program over a LAN or over the Internet. The program just basically serializes a Java class and encrypts it then wraps it into a UDP datastream and sends it over to another user.

              So I decided to implement UPNP...

              ASUS RT-AX88U router DEAD
              by josweet
              Hi Can anyone help identify this component pls

              The Asus RT-AX88U router is dead & fault finding brings it to a DC to DC convertor. 3.3v goes in, but nothing comes out. The IC is marked "3002 0ST1"

              There is a 2nd working small IC marked "3001 0gt1" that converts 3.3v to 1.8v, both power separate CPu's on the board.

              I have also searched for a schematic for it, to no avail....

              How can I be sure that my EC chip is dead?
              by double_DD
              Hi all,

              As the title suggests, how can I be sure that my EC chip is really dead?

              I've recently gotten into this hobby of laptop repairs, and have successfully brought back to life a couple with some easy fixes, mostly shorted caps.

              Now I'm working on HP Probook 455 G8, that had some "devil" run around on 3V line, burning a bunch of stuff. Luckily I have a dead 455G7 (for spare parts) so I managed to fix it (swapped burned parts) to a point that it will charge (both on barrel jack and usb-c), but it doesn't want to turn on. There is a 3V3 on a keyboard...

              after change them, ps5 dead too : 1 beep, no blue light. after inspection 1.8v power was shorted, and because of dead panasonic chip. after remove it : no short anymore
              so i changed it
              now i have got 5v stby,, 3.3v stby, 3.3v power, 1.8v power and no short on them
              but the ps5 is dead again : 1 beep, near 10 seconds with power lines and then off, no blue light ...

              Finding a dead short component
              by Beton
              Hi guys!
              I searched for the term "dead short" in the forum but no specific thread came up however if I'm just blind and couldn't see the thread talking about this please forward me to that direction.
              So my problem is I don't know how to find the source of a dead shorted voltage rail. Dead short = ~0 ohm resistance.
              I have two VGAs (HD 4850 and HD 4870), both dead shorted to ground on the memory rail. I have the boardview file for the 4870 and the memory rail consists around ~7892346 capacitors...
              I have a bench PSU and if I try to inject voltage the voltage...
