Re: No Boot after assembly

Yeah. I used that pic to illustrate a specific pin to solder to for someone else. Like helder mentioned it's for the function button. If you plan to use the function button make sure you solder It! ah really! didn't know that. I guess I haven't gotten far enough to notice that my function button di...

It was always tricky to get a good connection. https://i.imgur.com/YzbnVZQ.jpg Good to know. I'll try this out. Whats the red line you drew in...

Re: De-soldering Button PCB from Raspberry Pi

I can skip this and I end up with a mintyPi_v4 disc image file that says it is corrupted when I try to open it. Also there is an _MACOSX folder with another image of t...
