Hello! Having the same problem. Simply stopped working out of the blue. Connecting the USB cable does nothing. No lights.
-
Found the USB connector port on the motherboard's side to be shorting red and grounds out (cable is 100% fine, luckily). R12 resistor was burnt, so I replaced it with a structurally stronger one, but with definitely similar stats. Now when I plug the wheel into USB, that same resistor gets extremely hot. Next oddity I found was a seemingly(!) internally snapped/shorted zener diode at D1 between the C24 capacitor and R28 blue resistor. I'm looking to replace that zener diode as it's giving unusual readings with a multimeter. Problem is, I'm unable to find a proper replacement. I could read out the symbols "PH 8(B?) 1(I?) 2", but it was still kind of difficult to read them out even with a microscope.

The power adapter is also apparently fine (23.6V).
Help really appreciated, as buying a new motherboard is out of the question and definitely looking into proper repair.

Hopefully it's not too late.
