</div> ooo, ouch. are the tracks ok (so you can at least get access to<br>
uUSB)? wait... this is a mid-mount part.<br>

</div> hang on... there's 4 mounting points, one in each corner. the uUSB<br>
should have been soldered in all 4 of the mounting points: if it came<br>
out you would have been using one hell of a lot of force...<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Only ONE corner actually had solder on it. Uploading photos.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

... unless they rushed that one and didn't bother to solder it down<br>
at the mounting points.<br>

</div> ok, good idea. i'll get them back to the ODM - it sounds like they<br>
did a really poor job on the board that you got.<br>
<br>
i wonder if they did all those connectors by hand?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Judging by the look of the flux left behind and the condition of the traces on pins 30-34 and 64-68 as well lack of solder on 3 out of 4 contact points of the uUSB, I'd say yes. If I can get the capacitors, I can resolder the correct ones if need be. I have a scope here and a digital macro lens. </div>
