• Replaced U6 with new ADP3338; the power supply immediately reaches compliance, lowering voltage from input 5V to 2V roughly. Also, ADP338 immediately starts heating up, there is still a short somewhere. Check capacitors FC05/6?

• We replaced the ADP3338 again, but there still is a short between Vout (which should be 3.3V) and ground. We then removed the ADP3338 and checked (short still there) the first immediate components downstream of the 3.3V
  • FC06
  • U3
  • FC01
• Nothing helped
• Asked Francesco L. for extra ideas and otherwise for spare board
