Og switch is a no go. It had a short on the PI3 video IC. I removed the IC and the short is still there. I then removed all the main power IC and battery charge IC and we still have a short, tracked it back a bit and the short appears to be coming from the Nvidia SoC, I might take the soc off for science and see if the short goes but in terms of repair I think it's too far gone. I may get a re-ball template for it though and try my luck. Will be interesting to see if it can be done with the tools I have. In the meantime I stole all the resistors/caps around m92 and used them on the switch lite, I also took the charge port off of the og switch and put it on the lite so we can see if it works, so far by doing this I managed to get all the main power rails working:
But it still won't turn on so I have traced the fault back to the area around the Fuel gauge IC MAX17050, I removed that and am waiting for parts again
Still a 50/50 on this lite as so many components seemed to get damaged by the faulty charge port. I guess we just have to wait and see 
Fuel gague IC and resistor removed ready for replacement parts:
