 Most of the resources utilised to action this repair is by Louis Rossmann. A very similar diagnosis process is covered [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8rdaJQQVqg). You might recognise the "owie!" test in that video, was the main inspiration for my own "owie!" test.

 ## Dead USB Controller
 
 While I was previously probing around on the board, trying to establish if `PP3V3_G3H` was present (the precursor voltage bus to `PPBUS_G3H`), I found that one of the USB controllers was boot looping at the voltage level. Now that the laptop is fixed, I can indeed confirm that the USB controller closer to the hinge is dead and cannot charge the laptop.
 
 
 ## Stability Testing
 
-Considering I just ripped off two capacitors (C6465 cause it was dead, and C7050 cause I killed it while de-soldering), it would be prudent to test the stability of the voltage bus. This is ongoing as I write this.
