Acemagic /Nipogi AM06 Pro . Front USB Type C No power
I’m troubleshooting a Nipogi AM06 Pro mini PC (5500U model, also sold as the Acemagic AM06 Pro). The unit generally operates without issues, but the front-facing Type-C port fails to deliver power to any connected peripheral.
I purchased the system new, so I can’t confirm whether this port was functional at any point. It’s possible the port was miswired during manufacturing. Notably, I did once inadvertently connect the Type-C power adapter to this port, which could have resulted in electrical damage.
To investigate further, I disassembled the device. My experience includes multiple previous hardware repairs, so I felt comfortable proceeding. I traced the Type-C connector’s voltage pin to a capacitor highlighted in red and to a suspicious component in blue (possibly a diode), both visible in the attached image. The Type-C connector itself appears at the bottom center of the photo. At this stage, I’ve been unable to trace the voltage pin any further downstream from the port.
I got out my cheapo microscope to have a closer look at the mystery component, outlined in blue . The text looks like JF N1FL or JF N1FL or something similar . My educated guess is this is at fault . However I have not yet identified it .
Below are more pictures of the board inside this device
If anyone has schematics for this board or insights regarding typical failure modes for these Type-C power circuits, I’d appreciate your input.
