Corne half no longer working?
Good news! Seems to finally be all put together and working properly. Still haven’t fully put it through its paces, but I seem to mostly be able to connect both halves wirelessly and type. Thank you for all your help!
One hopefully easy last question: in the time this has sat out on my workspace, I seem to have misplaced one of the five metal standoffs on one of the halves. I assume that’s a standard M2 standoff I can buy and drop in, but knowing what exactly to look for would be helpful.

I appreciate it! Fingers crossed this one finally puts it all to rest 😅

Yeah, my memory was correct, the PCB is fine, but the new n!n seems to be unable to connect to battery power — my left half (the side that had been burnt) is now fully functioning using the right-side PCB, and the new n!n is also unable to get battery power from the right half (which had no issues). I tried reflowing all the pins on the EZ-solder headers just to make sure I didn't have a bad joint, no difference.

it seems like battery power was working with one n!n (the existing one from the other half) but not the other (the new one). I’ll double-check that, now that I know neither of those pins should be a problem

@Nicell Noticing this fell off the thread sidebar for me, so half bumping this for my own sake and half a gentle ping in case it did for you too

One’s missing the GND second from the USB port edge (left side if you’re looking from the side with the n!n logo silkscreen), the other is missing 106 on the opposite edge

Okay, the new nano wasn't working in the new PCB, so I re-flashed with my firmware and it worked fine in both PCBs.
The entire 'burnt' half is now working wired — it's not working purely over battery, but I suspect that's because all these insertions/reinsertions seem to have caused me to break a single ez-solder header pin on each of my nice!nanos, and I'm guessing that's the cause. (When I socketed the other nano onto the board, it seemed to charge power from the battery fine, but it also missing a pin is definitely giving me pause).
I spent some time trying to bodge a spare pin onto each, but I'm (reasonably) having trouble with that (I'm unable to heat up and pull out the half-broken pin remnants like I would with 'normal' headers, I'm guessing because it looks like the ez-solder pins have extra metal reinforcing them?). Curious if you have any advice for how to best salvage, I recognize this is user error.

I’d be happy to take apart my other working half to confirm the new nice!nano works with the known-good PCB (i.e. confirm it’s a PCB issue) and swap the displays to try to figure out if the display is broken or if it’s just a side effect of the PCB, but I’m not sure if there’s any risk of causing further damage?

@Nicell Hmm, so I got the new nice!nano socketed, and plugged it into the existing PCB with the nice!view but no battery. When I connect it to USB (with out-of-the-box firmware), my computer recognizes I've plugged it in, but I can't type, and the display also continues to show just noise

no worries, unless you’d find value in looking at it (and it sounds like no) I can’t imagine that would result in a different outcome for me

yes, within 5-10s of plugging the nano in, it's too hot to comfortably touch

Sure, will pop the nano and battery back on the board (just gonna remove all switches first) and try to see if it’s easy to tell which it is. No visible bulging.

The first time I noticed it the screen was warm to the touch, which also doesn’t say much other than “I didn’t notice for a while”

I’m not sure. The physical damage to the plastic seemed to be mostly along the top, which would make me guess it’s the nano rather than the battery, but unsure

Imagine you won't see this til tomorrow, but pinging @Nicell anyway since this is has seemingly escalated from "what's wrong?" to "this seems actively dangerous".
