2x Overheating

[Blazex2002]

so after checking around my 2x, trying to get it fixed after headphones stopped responding to plug again and re-soldered... now the system boots and dies, which then some said the buttons or something might be shorted.
just got finished riping it open and tried to boot it on wall/batteries, it wont stay on at all now(screen will flicker like its dead and speakers kinda hiss) and the area where x/y/a/b/start/select(the general region) is overheating making the unit smell like its burning. took me a few mins to figure where it was coming from.
any suggestions?
id like to get my 2x up and running again.

I don't wish to be the bearer of bad news, it sounds like your GP2X is now fried . But in case I am wrong, send a message to EvilDragon as he has quite a bit of experience in GP2X repairs.

sounds like you have shorted even more things now

actually vimacs never touched it since the last post, but other than that.
if the board is shot, anybody know if anybody sells replacement boards?
