My Dyson V8 Absolute is fried and shorted. It sparked and had a distinct smoke and burnt smell when i switched on the trigger. I opened it up today and still could not find the cause of the short. The motor windings are good and already taken out from the PCB. I am doubting the Mosfet M13C30 which I accidentally found online in youtube to be common fault for this particular model. I am unable to test it at the moment since it has a varnish coating and will try to remove it with acetone later to test if it is also shorted. I tried poking on the capacitors and eventually removed a 35V 1500uF but it was good. I also tested the SMD R030 resistor and it showed 0.1-0.2 Ohms on my DMM which I am not sure if it is fine (i think it is probably okay as long as it is not open). I also tested the 2 main terminals and could not verify that it is shorted. My DMM does not detect a short. I want to buy a replacement motor assembly but hesitant to do it until i figured the cause of the fault of this simple board. The...

Update (03/15/23): Hi i just received an iphone 6s and it was working for sometime according to the owner although it was previously repaired by replacing the tristar IC. Now i managed to remove the IC and was surprised that one trace in the motherboard was missing. i dont know where it is connected to, please advise me where to make the jumper.. location of missing trace in the photo.
