I don't want to fan anything on this thread, I just want to pose an idea that I haven't seen discussed yet and let y'all decide whether the thing can happen:
About those Pico W burning up in that other thread, what do you all think about a shorted inductor scenario caused by excess (or misaligned etc) solder paste? Would it overheat and burn that area? I presume that the shorted pads might have inductance enough for the buck-boost to operate at some level, but it might blow up at some point. But two board with a solder paste problem -- maybe a slightly messed up batch? Plausible or unlikely?
