That's one toasty resistor 🔥
A flir boson 320 + spare lens makes for a janky, but adequate macro setup.

I fixed a damaged USB-A port on a PS5 this week.
The most tedious part was the 42 security trox screws encasing an EMI/Heat shield to the motherboard. 🙃
Not my neatest work, but it works. This wire's pvc melts super quickly, so soldering can be a challenge.
But I still prefer having the colours 🙂
A quick 3d print to hold the wires avoids strain
