    For those who are curious its the TPS65982 Chip first launched mid 2015, guess its the first gen. USB C Power Management Chip...
    hopefully manufactures will use other chips for current systems

    TPS65982/TPS65986 same as CD3215x in Apple devices except for the I2C addresses. The TPS65982 and TPS65986 are chips from TI that try to do everything for USBC ports. It controls whether the port is a charging port, a USB port and with external switches the port can be thunderbolt or display out. It is a power and data multiplexer and there can be more than one of these if there are more USBC ports. The master chip connects to a flash chip that holds the TI boot code and configuration for each port and the secondary chips communicate with the master chip to get their individual configurations.
    One problem with these chips seems to be the internal LDO regulators and related switching. If they did away with all the external set resistors they could eliminate the analog tests and analog 1.8v rail to simplify the chip. And if all of these internal LDO regulators were separated out to an external chip that ran off of the USB ports VBUS it would make the switching part of the multiplexer more reliable and the entire system easier to repair. It would be two chips instead of one or one multiple output switching regulator chip with its input tied to all USBC ports VBUS via diodes to power each mux chip. The internal LDO_3V3 rail is only meant to supply enough current at startup for the chip to boot and use the external flash device that stores the programming and then it needs to switch from the internal LDO_3V3 over to the external VIN_3V3 supply. If it fails to switch from the internal LDO then it eventually fails. Having the voltage rails supplied by a single external chip and not needing those damn external set resistors would be the ideal setup.

    We have opponents for RTR with the notion of "it's too hard to fix." They just continue to buy the same garbage that is "hard to fix" without question.

    I wish you monitor the chip with the thermal cam under load after the fix, since this chip always fails, maybe what is making this chip fail is excessive heat, so you can prevent this chip from failing in the future by maybe adding a heatsink with some extra cost.

    You should test the new Aoyue micro hot tweezers that are like $60 that go with their new station. It’s not the large ones that have been around for a while they have a new one with direct drive tips. The hand piece and station you can get for under $150. If they work well it’s a game changer for those of us without a lot of money but still too much to take a chance on if they don’t work..
