Hello,
I have had a RPi 4 Model B for some while now which I havent used much. It has the following issues:
1. It's sd card slot stopped working a while back. I boot via usb
2. It is getting hot(around 53 °C/127°F woth an ambient temperature of 28°C/82°F) even when it is idle.


There are a few issues that I noticed.

1. Chipped inductor
2. I checked the mechanical drawings for rpi4b. There is an extra component in the drawing for which my board doesnt even have the pads let alone the component itself. Are there different versions of the rpi4b? If yes where can I get the schematics for my particular board because I only found one set of rpi mechanical drawings and schematics at https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/raspberry-pi.html
3. There are some pads present for which the components are missing. It seems there is some residual solder on those pads but I never removed any components. Did they just fall off?

I am attaching images. Can these be causing the issues I mentioned above?1000041098.jpg1000041085.jpg1000041089 (1).jpg
