Drown
help needed. Nintendo switch with some water damage came in and I need a picture of components and values on both sided down by the fuel gauge ic. If anybody would have a pic or could help me out it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much jkyoho saved me!
Unfortunately the pad is too far gone. Would anybody happen to know where the pad circled leads to so I can run a wire?
It connects to 3.3v line, I don’t think it does much even you don’t have that cap

It goes to the ambient light sensor pin1, and it should be the closest 3.3v line you could use jumper wire to recover that pad.

To the rescue again jkyoho. Ran that jumper and replaced missing components but unit will charge but not turn on or charge icon. 
since you have such liquid damage on the max17050 fuel gauge ic, I doult simply "Ran that jumper and replaced missing components " would make it work, you will need to replace the max17050 (or reball and fingercross)

I reballed the the max chip and replaced the BQ chip but still no joy. I might just replace the max chip tomorrow. It seems that whole corner was corroded so I’m not sure if it’s even fixable. Just hate to give up.
