I've reopened this community. It remains an unofficial community, but I have accepted a new moderator u/TheTwelveYearOld who made a request to reopen. I will try to post major updates here again but I don't intend to return to Reddit full time.

Last week I posted my attempt at the RGBDeck mod, which involved adding RGB LEDs for use with the JSAUX transparent back cover. My attempt at the mod included I2C control with OpenRGB. It worked great and looked amazing! People were concerned about power consumption, but realistically the power draw wasn't a significant hurt on the battery. However, it seems to be a significant hurt on the motherboard. Specifically, there is a tiny (and I mean TINY, WLCSP-4 package which is <1mm square) component that did not like the added power draw on the internal USB connection between the motherboard and controller PCB, which is where we tapped 5V for the RGB lights. This component failed, whic
