    Thanks for showing us where to look for things like the edges. Alex I found out for the camera you have and the holster that it goes in, it uses Allen screw 1/18 to make it firm so no need to use a screw-like the one you showed me over text. Its all an experience even if you don't fix it, you only get better by learning from anything that you spend time on trying and figuring.

    I'm curious about something. When you found the 3 missing components and a capacitor out of place up above, you took the stray capacitor and decided to put it on the left-most place. Then proceeded to take the other 2 capacitors from the donor board. Why? I mean, how do you know it belongs there? All 3 capacitors have the same size, shape and colour, however they can have different capacities, for example 100 nf. and 680 uf. You didn't do any testing or measuring or looked at a schematic. What if that capacitor belongs in the other place, or even below the IC? Or did you know that all 3 are identical in that specific board?
    I'm not judging you AT ALL. I'm just curious and I want to know how could you tell, I want to learn and improve because I work doing the exact same thing and I'm trying to be quicker and more efficient.
    Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work!!!

Is it ok to use the isolating tape on the board it doesn't make much difference? Also I use a heat gun to remove the port. Do you think it's giving the board to much heat or it should be good to go?

    I am working on an SMD board right now but not having much luck so far. It's an amplifier and there is a horrible oscillation coming from the output and the audio amp chip heats up. I thought I found a shorted cap but it was shorted intentionally via a switch. Took me 45 minutes to put it back on! 😅 I really need a heat gun and microscope for this job so I think I will wait until I get a REAL job and buy some more tools. I hear you have a microscope for sale ... 😉

    There are still some differences between the Donor Board and the job board in the area were they knocked off the components, the component on top of the ic is something that looks like an inductor in the job board but in the Donor is a really big capacitor, that might be your problem there.

    I've seen the flickering issue before, hard to say 100% though, you kind of jump over the areas on the board that would tell me what revision your working on. there are several.
    Is it the revision with or without the diode arrays? (6 pin package near the port after the fuse/filter next to CPU shield and other side next to the port)
    If so they have been the cause in the cases I have seen and solved.
