+bf2k+ Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I got around to upgrading my Fujinet firmware this evening. I tried loading drivers, pushing buttons, changing cables and a bunch of other stuff and could not get the flasher to recognize the FN... nothing worked! So I decided to try the other one. Plugged it in and away it went... upgraded the first time. No problem... Then I went back to the first one and noticed that the USB port on the FN board was crooked. I took apart the FN and found that the USB port had some bad solder joints on it and was totally wiggling. I never used it before so never noticed it was defective. I tried soldering two of the connections to tighten it up but I am not equipped to deal with the five tiny connections on the port. SMD soldering is a little bit out of my league... Anyone know someone who can fix it? (This one came from VCC so I cannot send it back to Gavin). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Both Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) It depends, where are you from. If shipping to germany (and back) is a cheap solution, I could do that for you. Stefan Edited July 24, 2023 by Stefan Both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is beyond repair, I will replace it for you, again, free. No worries. Just my way of being a benefit to the community.

bfollowell Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Marlin, you and Gavin have always been two of the biggest assets our little community have had. Now that we've lost Gavin, temporarily at least, I pray you stay happy and healthy and put up with us for a long time to come. As long as I'm in a praying mood, I pray Gavin rejoins us sooner rather than later or never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doctorclu Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) Since this repair thread is here figure I would put this out there, broke some pins on the SIO connector and wondering what is the best recommendation for repair, or if there is anyone willing to make this repair? Looks like these connectors might have been krimped onto the columns? Edited November 21, 2023 by doctorclu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
