thanks for the heads up. Just out of curiosity on the power issue. On the instagram post Helder said he would be shipping out fixed boards to the people who's shipped boards were incorrect. However you are mentioning reaching out to Helder about getting it fixed. I'm just asking for clarification so...

scrape away some of the solder mask on the traces, add some flux and solder the wire to that. same thing happened to me

I just get a white screen when powering up. https://i.imgur.com/loToWP6.jpg I have checked my connections with the test pads...

Yes I saw the blog post after I made this post. Unfortunately it took almost 24 hours for this post to be posted so i couldn't catch it and update.

That being said I am now in search of the tiny magnet...
