What does shorted cap on 2002-2629 Nintendo switch mean

Switch that I replaced LCD connecter (successfully) stopped reading game cards all of a sudden. I tried two different brand new and used game cartridges in it. Still would give error. I just looked around with multimeter and discovered a shorted cap near game card reader FPC connecter.I circled it in the pic


(BTW not a image of my switch got it off youtube)

What should I do from here? Does that mean the FPC connecter needs to be replaced? Thanks

Update: i removed the FPC connecter because after inspecting it looked melted on the last two pins, but the short is still on the cap
