Nintendo Switch BSOD Repair

I had a switch come through with the BSOD,Blue Screen of Death

The general repair for the BSOD is to reball the APU as a ball has cracked or a pad has been pulled,this usually happens when the unit has been bent or stood on and flexed the board too much.

APU ready to reflow back onto the board.

After installing the APU,it still had the BSOD. I then looked further into the situation and found that a trace between the APU and RAM block had been damaged by the previous owner trying to lift the heat shield from the motherboard.

Cut out of shield frame to see and access the broken trace.

I had to cut a piece of the shielding frame to see the problem and I found this on my gut instinct. I repaired the trace and away she went.
