I swapped the two parts today, unfortunately without success. U2 gets super hot and on the 3.3 V line there is only 1.6 V present. @dc42 Could any other component pull the cable to ground or is it most likely a microcontroller?
@antunisac To exchange the components you need a SMD soldering station and some experience. Often there are open electrical laboratories at universities which are run by students who like to help. Good mobile phone repair shops should also have such a thing or small electrical specialist dealers. I think that would be a good start ...
