I recently plugged in my cackle’s Halloween animatronic and it worked for about 2 days and then randomly shut off. I tried unplugging it and then plugged in again and it would work for about a second and then cut off. I initially thought it was a lose wire to the power supply but when opening the box a part of the board was insanely hot and had a light burn smell. I wasn’t able to remove the board so I kinda stopped plus I have no idea what I’m doing. Does anyone know a place that repairs or can provide a new board, or even maybe ran into the same issue but was able to fix it?

Yes I will most likely remove the chip and see what it does. If it does happen to work the movement and lights I will probably ordered the parts like you mentioned and replace them all. Thanks for the help
I’m hoping to get it fixed before Halloween.
