I know. I didn't verify. Hence the mistake.

I have built like eleven MintyPis so far, so I thought i was a badass going to the V3. Went to replace the mosfet.... looked for a chip with eight legs......just started trying to remove it without verifying it was the correct one......it wasnt. lol

I just posted this viewtopic.php?f=63&t=7782 hopefully it helps!

While I'm no Wermy by any stretch of the imagination, it seems as though a Circuit Gem build guide is a highly sought after commodity. Ill give it my best shot now. At least it will be a start. I'm waiting on another gem kit in the mail and if anyone wants more detailed photos Ill be doing them with...

I know this is a very long shot, but if anyone messed up a kit and has the controller PCB (That the pi solders to), Ill take it! Ill even pay shipping. Let me know fellow tinkerers. To be clear, I'm not looking for a full kit. Just the one board.
