Blown or Swollen Electrolytic Capacitors: Look closely at the cylinders (like the ones wrapped in black near the bottom or top). If the tops are bulging, leaking fluid, or showing crusty residue, they must be desoldered and replaced.Damaged Charging / Power Port: The DC input jack or Micro-USB/Type-C port frequently snaps loose or cracks away from its solder pads due to constant physical strain.Burnt Amplifier IC or Regulators: Look for burn marks, discoloration, or small holes on the surface-mount microchips. Overheating or a power surge often destroys these integrated circuits.
