Help guys I've destroyed my pwr pad on the pi zero
He back pad which you put power too came off as my device fell. Is there anywhere else I can take it from to power the device?

Re: Help guys I've destroyed my pwr pad on the pi zero
I'm afraid that little solder spot that's left is the only point you can stll solder it on, but it will be tiny lol .. there should be a way to power it with GPIO, but hey, i would buy another Pi zero if i had this.
Or you can strip a microusb male connector and stick it in the usb.. last resorts .. @ p1 there's 6 very tiny little round spots on the right.. you could scrape the coating of that line and tin it with solder.. but this is really a mcgyver solution lol

There are 2 gpio pins that are connected to 5v
Get a small cheep LCD in your project https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2312
Wrap it all round a battery https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2292
Or use a custom PCB to make it really small https://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2512

To me, it's the easiest option now, so you can't really damage it any more.144TECH wrote: Or you can strip a microusb male connector and stick it in the usb.. last resorts ..

This where my thoughts also, but if you look carefully, the pad does not make contact anymore with the trace.. the one that goes to the 6 little points on the right.. so putting in that connector won't do it i think.. but it could still be working though.....
And this should work also, but you need to solder very good here, not the kind of soldering i see many others do... haha..
