PCB is toast

[e36bobbo]

Need to buy a replacement PCB. Didn't realize I had a dead Pi before it was too late. Tried to heat the PCB but didn't have the proper tools, so as you can see from the pic it's Fuc*ed. If anyone is feeling generous, please let me know. Thanks!

Sorry amigo I just gave my last board to another member here who did the same monstrosity as you. I'm getting some boards made soon so I will order 10 blanks of the v2 for sometime next week so people such as your self don't feel left out and I don't get hounded by people asking me all the time about boards.

You will have to transplant the parts from that board to the new one though.

Sounds good man! I just wanna get this thing finished up, so whatever I could get would be great. As far as transferring parts goes, you mean the ribbon connector and battery monitor? I can live without the battery monitor if that's beyond my skills but I imagine the connector will make things much smoother for installing the screen, so I'll transfer that if I can.

Should I PM ya next week or just wait to hear from ya? Still have the PayPal info, just let me know and I'll send you some coin. Thanks!!

You can try to run thin bridge wires from the death solder pads to the coresponding test pads. And I did not looked in detail but your ribbon connector looks to have some solder bridgimg the connections. This needs to been fixes as well.

I'll solder on a connector for you so it's a simple redo of everything else for you.

Right on!
