    I got this chip from a ceiling light similar to this one below:

    34W Tuya WiFi LED Ceiling Light Double Layer Type Dimmable CCT Ultrathin Surface Mounting Lamp RGB Colorful Back Light

    Can anyone identify what this chip is? It has no sticker on it and from the PCB markings I cannot be sure.
    Electronic chip from a ceiling light, without visible markings.

    Chip module labeled QN-803S V1.0 with various pins.

    Thanks

    Can you remove the metal shield? Could be N chip
    Those look like ripped pads on the pins

    It's a CB3S
    I hope you can repair those ripped pads on the pcb, takes some patience and steady hands for that
    Do you mind sharing more pics of the device?

    Do you mean of the actual device?
    Or the PCB - to see the damage? Or something else?

    Yes, the actual device teardown, I saw another square wifi led sold locally that could be similar
  • Planned teardown to identify the chip

    OK I see what you mean. The actual device doesn't exist anymore :( Some accident happened a while ago and it broke into a lot of pieces :(

    I kept the chip as I intend to buy a few more for some bedrooms in the house. (the device itself was very good and I remember that I was really impressed by its brightness at the time when I tested it.)
    So now I am doing my homework as in the next couple of weeks I plan get a couple more. I will do a teardown then for sure.
