*screams internally*
Okay, so this thing has decided to be the biggest little shit of the century.
It has the common problem of the heatsink material melting, shorting the output sound IC and causing a no sound condition. You'll hear a mini pop sound upon turn on that indicates this condition is here.
Well, I replaced the pad, cleaned the circuit board till it was SPOTLESS. Using Acetone, CorrosionX, Alcohol, and CRC QD electronics cleaner. Literally nothing will stop this madness. I have resoldered each pin under a microscope using a needle point soldering tip and a very hot soldering iron, 400C. So, after all of that, it still makes a little pop and produces no sound.
The customer has indicated that after a chromecast was used, the audio never worked after that.
Can someone point me to what I should do? The IC is very cheap and I can replace it no problem. I don't want to because fuck all of those pins.
