> Your original fault is most like the AS15 IC. There are several variants and some of them are all plastic while some have a metal belly pan for ground and heatsink. If yours has the belly pan, you must use hot air to get it out. What I do is put chipquik on the IC, if it floats off the board, replace with a plastic version. If it won't budge, break out the hot air to flow the solder under the chip. Replace with a metal back version.

Thank you both for your answers.
 
I have a SMT air station for chip removal, and the IC has a bottom pad
for heat sinking. I will desolder it when the replacement arrive.
Soldering the bottom pad will be difficult, though.
 
The BD8160 has the inner boost FET shorted (pins 4 and 5 are shorted to
ground), so the 12 V input is shorted to ground through the boost coil.
There is a 1206 fuse, but it is OK.
 
The AS15 is after the boost diode and a series MOSFET switch, so I know
the short is not in it (I have the T-CON schematic). If the board comes
back to life I will check the AS15, it is easy to test because it is
just an array of analog buffers.
