Good afternoon everyone,

This is my first real post here. I am very new to a lot of this, so bear with me. I recently acquired a Nikon Z8 that had been dropped and will not power up. After removing the back of the camera, I found a large FPC cable that was half out of the connector. Great, I though I'd found the problem and reseated the cable and tested. Still no power. I started digging further and found an inductor that had overheated, bulged, and left a residue on the heatsink. I removed the inductor and retested, thinking maybe I would have some functionality, but still nothing....

Hello everyone,

I enjoy making and fixing electronics and mechanical things. I'm hoping to gain knowledge from all of you.
