Helder's MintyPi Button PCB

Looking for a seller with a spare lying around or an unused one. Most recent version preferred. I soldered the raspberry pi to my current pcb backwards like a moron, which is most likely the reason the screen won't power on. I have been unsuccessful in detaching it, so i gave up. All i need is the button PCB, and not the screen to go with it.

Probably better off investing in a hot air rework station to try and get the pi off. It will not be easy to find someone with a spare PCB. (might have to wait for Helder's version 3).

I’d recommend buying one of these desoldering irons.

A hot air rework is also a good thing to have. I used both (but I had better luck with the desildering iron) when I messed up soldering a pi zero to prerunnerseth’s SNESPi thing.

Hope this helps.
