Hello Mason
I'm trying to inspect the traces here but the camera kinda make up pixels when the light is not good
Would you be able to take new pictures with - say, flat on a table with good light no zoom ? 🙂
echo jetty
yeah of course give me like 2 seconds
@plucky juniper sorry for the flash it's the only real good lighting i have but are these better?
plucky juniper
These red circles look a bit weird to me, but it may only be the picture, since the other side looks clean (green circle)
On this picture and the previous one I saw a line across the connectors (red line)
Can you inspect that ?
If all is good here, then we'll check the chips legs

That looks like a loose chip leg, I doubt it is making proper contact with the board...
plucky juniper
Yeah, crusty at least, that was my next target along with an overall check of legs
echo jetty
how can i fix it? do i need to solder it in place or something?
nimble stratus
Basically that, yes
