    hello,

    I wanted to post answering another topic with same issue but it was closed.

    M1330 went off suddenly as I was using it, as if battery was empty.
    when I plugged in the AC supplier, blue LED went off.
    I started to disassemble the M1330 in order to remove C10 cap, but no luck short circuit was still there.
    so I removed the MB from the casing and powered it with an external power supply and found one component that was very hot, EC523 (on the right of the copper-coloured hole).
    I removed it and the short circuit disappeared !!! I replaced it with another component with equivalent values.
    A few hours ago, everything seems to be OK.
