This USB-C scanner came to me with no signs of life. Upon opening I found a cooked inductor that appeared to be getting +3.3V at one side and nothing at the other. After replacing the inductor I got +3.3V at both sides, but still no signs of life, with the AP1402 power control IC nearby getting hot. On all tries since I get +3.3V at the inductor for about 10 seconds and then it falls to 0V, AP1402 does not heat. I am guessing AP1402 is kaput and I am SOL but is there anything else I can check? All other caps around AP1402 measure only about 10 ohms to ground, none of them get hot
Edit: I've tried injecting +3.3V into the inductor with a bench power supply. It pulls 1.5A and immediately AP1402 gets extremely hot, nothing else.
