Got this sweet 8th gen i7 NUC with the Iris graphics for a song. It is a beast, runs 4.5Ghz 
I am looking for schematic/board view, or just some hints on where to go poking to get some power to my USB ports.
All USB A ports are without power, including the onboard headers. 2x front, 2x rear.
I verified that they are enabled in BIOS and I toggled the "sleep state power output" settings too. Also tried the yellow "always on" port with power off or on.
The C port (Thunderbolt) is fine, and I am using a type C hub to operate it.
Anybody can point me to where all these ports get power? Hack option says backfeed the SATA 5v into the onboard USB 2.0 header, but seems drastic. (Also possibly unnecessary, making a Switch/Steamdeck style portable, using aftermarket Bluetooth switch Joy-Cons)

Thank you for reading.
