    PS5 - long screw damage, via to ground layer short?

    Hello dear Badcappers,
    I came across a PS5 that was longscrewed. The screw went through the HDMI IC (which I replaced + repaired the traces it damaged), however the screw also bend the board and slightly cracked it on the other side. It still seems like it could be fixable though as the area might not have lots of traces going through it (fingers crossed).

    Can somebody, please, measure their board and tell me if my assumption of an inner short between the via and ground layer is correct? These 3 pads have almost no resistance. I would like to make sure those are not some data pads that are supposed to be < 1 ohm before I start digging into the board.

    Thank you so much!

    450watt power supply 5v, 3.3v short to ground wire,in output rail ,connectors
    by playit
    hello everyone , working zebronics power suply 450 watts , 5v ,3.3v givin short to ground black wire, also in circuit at output, resistor was charred but shows right values , after removing resistors 39ohms, 51 ohms, there was no short , no continuity beeps with ground , but after replacing new resistors (now i am not switching it on) ,again short still exists . when i put bigger ohm resistor like 100k ohm , no short beeping sound comes , lower ohm resistor gives continuity beeps ,other big ones donest , as its a working psu , i am confused what to remove now or how to go further now .

    PCB Layer to layer short on a low voltage power plane - how to find it?
    by Prott
    Hello!
    Recently I have a problem finding a dead short (as far as my cheap multimeter is concerned) on a multilayered (12 layer) PCB. It is caused due to mechanical stress (warping the board and, I assume, cracking inner layers). Injecting voltage of 0.9 V (operational voltage of that part of the circuit) and drawing 0.5 W doesn't cause any visible hotspot on a thermal camera.

    Does anybody have any tips & tricks in order to locate the short more or less precisely? The area has a lot of powerplanes, so it's both blessing and a curse.

    Silly idea no. 1: Can I...

    Diagnosing short to ground issue. pcb from an e scooter
    by Leefreeman97
    Hello, I have a pcb from an e scooter which had a faulty diode but even after removing it from circuit, it still has a short to ground on the three components circled. I have removed every cap on the board and tested one by one and the short is still there and all the caps test ok. Could this be because I haven’t put a diode back on it yet or where do I go next please?

    Macbook Pro (820-2773) 20 ohm partial short on the pp3v8 power rail after water damage
    by TheNuclearOption
    water damage to the left speaker channel circuit caused an internal board short that has been carved out and damage to various capacitors. I removed both chips ur630 and ur600 both were burnt. Im not sure how to track down this partial short. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The fuse is blown on ppbus and im getting 12.24v to the ppvbatt side of the fuse

    Problem

    This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....
