So, I'm going to fuck around with my Switch from the woods and see if I can return it to an operational state just for my own experience.
I had it up and running for a little while before it died again. It was found outdoors, so assume it has some exposure to moisture. Nothing inside looks noticeably bad on visual inspection though.
Current status is that it does not boot, I don't have a reliable way to check with a known charged battery, although I did buy a second battery so I am assuming it is not charging.
I have it opened up and have found several shorts on basically every component of what I found described as the VSYS circuit.

I'm mainly thinking about removing any or all of the three main ICs (M92, PI3USB, and BQ24193) that I understand are responsible for charging to see if that alleviates the shorts, but I'm wondering if there might be any way to troubleshoot components or anything else I can do to narrow down the target first.
