Solved RVL PMS 3v3

[sandman7793]

Bought a partially built gboy kit. The RVL pms 3v3 is not working. What should I check on the board? It was working then stopped. Nothing smoked or anything. Just stopped putting 3v3 out.

You should post pictures otherwise we have very little to work off of

Ok. Give me a minute

Not that great of a picture. Don't know what other picture I should post.

Well, I'd start with getting some IPA and cleaning the thing. There's a lot of excess flux and dirt there, could be causing a phantom short. If not, at least you'll be able to see the joints clearly.

Yeah I'm going to pull it out. Probably should of when I got it.

Used desoldering wick, cleaned it up, soldered all the pads, reattached everything and all is fine.
