This speck is apparently a capacitor that needs soldered back on to the accelerator board. Nope. Not gonna be me.

@nivrig solder paste and hot air. You can do it.

@GrantMeStrength I have neither of those. It’d be cheaper to buy a new card :D

@nivrig @GrantMeStrength could a big one be welded in old fashioned style? I did a stm32 or whatever with hot air which worked fine but I blew off a cap and a timing crystal doing it lol. Hot air is a fun game but needs investment in kapton tape too.

@cat @GrantMeStrength Maybe, there's a bit of space around its pads. I can't read its rating though, my eyes aren't up to it either.

@nivrig @cat I think we all learned a valuable lesson here: don’t poke things.

@nivrig poke it with a meter? Or is it already dead? Find a youngling with eyes. My magnifiers make me travel sick I hate it!!

@nivrig sorry I’m addicted to fixing things it’s more economic to replace, I’m diseased.

@cat lol :) There may be a fried trace as well, I can’t quite see. I think this one might be for the recycling.
