Symptoms

• Device does not charge

Solution

• Replace battery (less likely)

• Check for short on battery connector, check current consumption from battery connector using a bench PSU(in case a power rail that turns on with the device is short), if a high current is being taken check voltages and for shorts on caps nearby PMIC, and PMIC itself. If a short is found, remove suspected capacitor, if the short persists repeat for all parts on that power rail ending with the PMIC until it is gone.
  • Replace charging port board (more likely)
