Hello, Thank you for shipping Nybble. I received the package around January 19th but i didn't had the time to build it. Today, i finally had time to work on it and i ended up building most of the body and the head and it was fun, but when it came to install the Nyboard, i noticed that one of the "Capacitors" labled C3 [you can see it on the pictures] came off. I tried to solder it back to the board but it would not stick? No matter how i did it. Any advice on how to fix it? I tried powering the board on but it would not power on. I was so excited to program Nybble but this put me on hold? :( How would i go in order to fix this issue? if nothing works, would i be able to get a replacement for the board? Thank you for your time and consideration. Here are some of the pictures so you can see the problem.
I have received your package and your replacement new board is on the way.
After inspecting your board I can answer some of your questions:
1. The capacitor's pin legs appears to be bent, indicating some mistakes in the handling.
2. The rough surface of the solder indicates that your soldering iron is not hot enough to melt the lead free solder. I was able to solder point A back onto the board.
3. C3 is irrelevant with the master control chip. The screws on the power socket are still in their default location, indicating that your may not power the board correctly.
I still want to use this board for my testing models. So I did the following fix. Hope these notes will be helpful for other situations.
