I've never seen a premium brand charger that wasn't absolutely stuffed with components on one side. They're always trying to shrink them, and all that real estate on the board is wasted.

Did it cost an unreasonably small amount?

Why did you take it apart?

30$, it's dead that's why I took it apart

Can't find a teardown of that 60W charger, but it looks nothing like some of the Samsung ones posted in the teardowns here: https://www.chargerlab.com/
