    @thecod3r I'm still watching this video so not sure of your result yet. But what I have noticed with oleds if you get any weird power issues, the ALJ chip just go the left the cpu can cause very odd power issues. A reflow on this has been succesful for me 4x now. Also, left screw under the battery, take it out, lift bottom plastic up and away, this will make removing the main board and putting it back far easier.

    When you reseat the chip and you press on it and the solder blop comes to the side, isnt it flowing from the center pad (thermal dissipater center) and isnt that sometimes makes a short? does wisking it away or solder tip it with flux isnt the blob still connected under the chip?

    Had my first OLED the last days and it was very water damaged. After lots of cleaning, reflowing and reballing I still had the same problem as your switch. The small 9-pads IC on the backside of the battery-connector did solve it! Gave this one also a fresh reball and the switch started even fast-charging right away! Maybe this can help someone.
