Steve, great health wishes first! For the short circuit board, why wouldn't you inject voltage, like 1V, and look for heat spot. You can use thermal camera if you one, or the atomizer, or if you got no of these use 95+% isopropyl alcohol and look for a spot where it evaporates fast. This board must be saved!

Nice video Steve, i'm glad the algorithm showed me this channel. I don't agree with whoever put together that capacitor kit, replacing electrolytic with ceramic caps is not recomended in all types of circuits, it's acceptable in some but not all. Also replacing 33µf with 100µf is also not good, it's okay to go up in size but not 3 times the original size. Another thing is that brown glue that is in the lower corners of the main board covering some of the chips of the blue console should be removed because once it turns brown like that it going to go conductive and cause all kinds of problem, that's a well known problem with this kind of glue
