Is my raspberry Pi repairable?

Thu Apr 04, 2019 9:36 pm

I was dumb enough to disconnect my camera module while my Raspberry Pi 3B+ was still on. I've already tested the camera module in another Pi that my friend has and its still alive, however, my raspberry Pi isn't. No ACT LED, just PWR constantly on, I also measured the voltage between the 3.3V pin and ground, it's 0V and the resistance it's zero too. I've already checked all the troubleshooting documentation, my peripherals work fine, and so does my SD Card and OS image.

My guess is that on of the chips completely died or there's some hidden fuze I can replace with a bit of soldering work.

What do you guys think? Thanks for the help.

No you managed to destroy the 3V3 power supply, (PMIC) and its not easily repairable.
