given the price of ram in today’s economy I am sort of wondering about picking up a dead no boot pi4 and transplanting parts across from the 8gb one until it boots. or emailing rpi foundation to see if they can suggest which parts went in the places where parts are now not. it’s mostly passives but a bunch do look load bearing from a quick eyeball of the circuit. I guess I could desolder some from the working pi and test them to get values, but they’re 0201, breathe near them and they are lost. I would need a good microscope too, but I think I have some chance of replacing some of the damaged pads. I guess I could always move the ram from the 8gb to 2gb one too. But I figure two working Pi is better than 1 working pi with the chance of 0 working pi…
