Xbox one Controller No Power

[mike123333]

Hello I have an xbox 1 controller 1708 that has no power and upon diagnosis there are major shorts around the ARM X905893 002 BGA chip. My first time working on this device. can this chip be replaced or is it paired to the board?

Thanks MJ

I've mixed top boards with bottom ones so no, not paired.
Definitely a short and not low resistance ?

you maybe correct, when I connect the top board with the joy sticks to the main board, the two circled IC chips get extremely hot, the one on the left is worse than the right one. I check for shorts and find shorts on the large caps. When I remove the top board the shorts are gone and I have voltage on those chips.

On the top board with the joy sticks I have short to gnd on the caps and resistors circled. I do not have a good board to check if those components are low resistance or shorts.
