Likely just needs a touch with a soldering iron, surprised they had to send it out for that
Glad you got it sorted.

Almost nobody does board level repairs.
Especially under warranty. It's going to come back with a new system board.

I will attempt this and have done it with charging ports in the past and other simple to fix things. Some of the pins on various IC's are so thin and closely spaced together it can make it really difficult to remove/replace without fusing the legs together. I wouldn't do these.
I fixed a broken piece on my MacBook pro motherboard and it went on to live for 6 years after that. The mainboard at that time was $700 and that wasn't going to happen.

Well, it's a Best Buy extended warranty was my impression from the thread, and he wasn't sure it was covered. I do board level repairs regularly on gear that's out of warranty. Covered? Yeah, don't bugger with it.

I got the laptop back earlier this week from Geek Squad at Best Buy The receipt repair comments said that the motherboard was replaced and fixed the issue . Their part cost was $23.46 for a " Recertified RCM Motherboard "
No cost to me but when I received an email stating it was finished I went to the store to get it but was told that I had to come back another day because I did not make an appointment to pick it up (even though it was sitting there ready to go ?) .

Glad you got it sorted... Gotta love that kind of nonsense when you go to pick-up something. Someone in higher management at Best Buy needs to learn of that experience.

Yeah exactly, that kind of treatment is unacceptable.
