    Hardware Help me fix a random switch I bought on eBay?

    tried straightening with a bobby pin. No dice. I don't think this is worth ordering a replacement charge port since plugging in another charged battery doesn't let the thing boot. Let's see what I can get for it on ebay.

    Hardware Help me fix a random switch I bought on eBay?

    Thanks for the idea of plugging in the wire. Look! bent pins on the top half of the usb C port. This still doesn't explain why the switch doesn't boot when a charged battery is plugged in though. Wondering if it's worth the repair.

    no signs of damage. Will try to get into rcm tomorrow. But I would think even if something like the nand was bad there would be the backlight on the screen.

    Hardware Help me fix a random switch I bought on eBay?

    I was hoping that maybe the charge port was bad or the battery was bad. I have some decent soldering ability. But My skills with a multimeter are limited without schematics.

    Hardware Help me fix a random switch I bought on eBay?

    I bought a "not charging" switch on eBay. I figured I might be able to fix it. I thought wrong. I took it apart. I plugged the Nintendo charger in and held the power button for 12 seconds. I waited about a minute. The copper heat pipe gets crazy hot. the fan is not turning on. No other signs...

    Tutorial Trinket Internal Install.

    The blue line is messed up. I actually think I bridged the resistor right next to the one with the blue line. auto https://imgur.com/a/ITSjWyl This is what my board actually looks like. I removed the connector for the power, vol+ and vol- due to a semi-unrelated incident. Plan was to manually...

    Tutorial Trinket Internal Install.

    Can't post links yet, post count too low github(dot)com/Quantum-cross/sam-fusee-launcher-internal/blob/master/INSTALL.md scroll down to optional vol+. There are two points. I used the on on the capacitor. I tried the other point on the connector, but since I fucked up the resistor point, it...

    Tutorial Trinket Internal Install.

    So I tried adding the plus volume to point 0 on the trinket. I soldered directly to the resistor. Was working great until I accidentally yanked the wire off of the resistor. Now my vol+ does not work so I can't get into RCM. Is there another point to trigger vol+ than the resistor point shown in...

    Hacking A Tiny Soldering Job (Reversable Trinket M0)

    serious question. For removal of the micro usb port. I have a heat gun that says it can get up to about 1000 degrees F. It's pretty big though and I mainly use it for stuff on my car. Is it safe to use this on the trinket m0 board? I was planning on covering the board with foil (and after seeing...
