Re: PCB is toast

Sounds good man! I just wanna get this thing finished up, so whatever I could get would be great. As far as transferring parts goes, you mean the ribbon connector and battery monitor? I can live without the battery monitor if that's beyond my skills but I imagine the connector will make things much ...

PCB is toast

Need to buy a replacement PCB. Didn't realize I had a dead Pi before it was too late. Tried to heat the PCB but didn't have the proper tools, so as you can see from the pic it's Fuc*ed. If anyone is feeling generous, please let me know. Thanks!

Re: Black screen, on but not showing anything

Again, thanks for getting back to me. I may as well just get another pcb when they're available, if possible? I don't own a rework station, so would prefer not to go the route of buying one if I don't have to, at that point I'd have more into it than buying one on the forum already assembled. Just w...

Re: Black screen, on but not showing anything

Update- I think I may have killed the Pi somehow.... I've tried 2 different SD cards now, 16gb and 32gb. They are Sandisk Ultra Plus, so not some shitty knock-offs. I read that if you plug the USB data port into your PC with no SD card, your PC should ping letting you know there is new hardware plug...

Re: Black screen, on but not showing anything

Thanks for getting back to me. Sorry to hijack a current thread. I'll recheck the 5v gpio and gnd. Not sure if this helps trouble shoot but when I plug the Pi in directly via USB, I get the green activity light on the Pi but the screen stays black. When I use the switch, the screen turns on but no g...

Re: Black screen, on but not showing anything

Did you ever get this figured out? I'm having a similar issue, the screen turns on but stays blank cause the pi isn't getting power. I've checked for continuity, and I have it all around, so I'm kinda stumped.
