Hi, a component called JW5068A burned out on my motherboard randomly burned out (unplugged from the wall, shut down, unplugged internal battery).
Does this look repairable? I know the component itself likely can be replaced, but do these parts fail on their own or are they a result of other shorts/faults?
Laptop model is Acer Swift Go 14 (SFG14-42) with a Ryzen 7 7840U.
Hi, I am a senior in high school and I am really interested in electronics and chip design and am going to UIUC for my undergrad in computer engineering.
I will not be able to afford a Masters right out of my undergrad so I'm going to try to set myself up to get into a Masters + PhD paid program (either at UIUC or some other good uni).
I just was curious what kind of chip design niches/roles can be done with an undergrad and what the demand is for those roles. My main questions were:
What aspects (roles/specialization) of this industry do you think will see the most growth in the next 5-10 years (since Moore's law is kind of ending)?
What kind of skills should I focus on learning (at UIUC or on my own) for those specializations?
How hard would it be to break into this industry with just a bachelors degree?
If it is possible to break in with a BS, since Masters is unavailable to me, is a PhD worth it, or is it more worth it to try and get my foot in the door first and then think about Masters after saving money/getting a company to sponsor it?
If getting into this industry looks worse and worse over my undergrad, what other industries use electronics/electrical engineering?
