What is this component next to the M92T36?

Some time ago I ran into a problem where my Switch would freeze whenever I tried using the USB-C port for charging or docking or simply plugging in a dongle without anything connected to it. Otherwise it worked fine. Although I don’t want to and won’t go into any details, the problem was caused after the USB port was fed 12v 2a DC without any USB-C compliant power delivery chip, but only for a brief moment. That’s probably why it wasn’t completely bricked. After some sleepless nights I came to the conclusion that it’s probably the M92T36 chip, as it’s core weakness is only being able to support up to 6v without any external USB-C charger chips or other fancies, whereas other chips responsible for charging should (from my understanding) be able to withstand 12-20 volts.

Now that you’re up to speed, here’s the actual problem. I ordered the M92T36 from eBay, hoping to get it soldered on by a local electronics repair shop. When I got back my Switch from the repair guy, I tried turning it on in the shop, only to get greeted with the classic 2101-0001 error during boot. I told him that something’s not right, he blamed it on the fact that the replacement chip I bought had clearly been soldered before. I had seen that before, and just assumed it was because it was picked off from another Switch.

When I get home, I check the area near the chip, and although at first glance in the shop it looked fine, upon closer inspection I notice that something is missing, and something else right next to it has been moved slightly, but not enough to mess up the connections. I look up an image of the motherboard on the iFixit store and there is clearly something missing, a resistor, capacitor, something. I’m no expert on tiny electronics. I’ve attached images. Would be nice to know what that is.

One edge of the M92T36 itself looked sort of scuffed, like there was some gunk shorting all the pins together. Although probably not the smartest idea, I did my best to carefully scrape out that stuff from in between the pins with a thin needle, but that barely did anything, other than add some scratches to the PCB. Again, not something anyone would consider the best solution in this case, but it’s not like I have the tools or knowledge to figure out what’s going on in there the proper way, either.

I don’t know what I plan on getting out of this. I don’t want to wait another month for shipping from eBay only to get screwed over again, or for it to turn out that my needle strategy has nullified my chances, or that the chip itself really is faulty, or that the pins are still short circuited, but then again I also don’t want to buy a new console. Used console-only switches cost like 190 euros on eBay, and as a fifteen-year-old that’s nowhere close to cheap. I guess I’m mostly asking just to see what my options are.

Any help is appreciated.

First of all I apologize for my english. Were I to be you I would probably try to place that capacitor that is missing. Ask a friend for a soldering iron. It is a simple solder. Try to get that or another shop to place the missing capacitor for you.

If that doesn't solve it then I would probably sell it as for parts or to be fixed for around 105€.

Or post a picture with the problem and I will try to see what I can find out about it.

A capacitor won’t cause any issues like that
