Help reviving brick from limbo

Hey everyone,

My trimui brick is about 6 months old and I was running Knulli when it refused to wake up one day. I've tried every possible solution to no avail, see my previous post for more details.

I tried powering on with/without battery, with/without SD card, different sd card, recovery image, Knulli, reset button, etc.

The brick seems to charge when connected to the computer - the LED is red and turns green after a few hours. It also gets very hot. This matches the limbo problem's description as I've read here.

Does anyone know of a reliable fix? Is there a way maybe to short something on the PCB to reset the CPU for real? Is TrimUI responding to inquiries about this? Is there maybe a way to get a new motherboard without paying 50$?

TL;DR - brick stuck in limbo, looking for advanced solutions.
