Maybe its what trimesh said - weight of the copper. But maybe it was limited to one factory and not another? As it seems you have a VA1.8 with...
I am planning to measure the resistances and voltages when my console arrives. Will also be running it without the wires to test. However, I...
No, especially as you can just side load it anyway
What I asked earlier in the thread was if there were any vias under the solder (you will need to use braid to remove the solder). Already said...
You cant leave any address lines floating (or any lines in general, they need a defined state). The connection is probably under the chip so you...
You can't leave them floating. The extra address line are what give you access to the extra space. They need to connect to the mapper chip. /we...
Looks like standard 4 wire modchip and a colour fix circuit. So games work over composite in colour when playing imports. Being stuck at license...
Only as a hobby/side business. So yes, I have experience, but certainly wouldn't claim to be a professional. However, the copper layer isn't the...
This is a waste of time. Yes ok, you are correct.
Well, "as if" is the same as "as though" not maybe as you claim. "it looks as though they misdesigned the pcb" Maybe it's a lost in translation...
Which part of while someone has it open its worth checking are you not understanding? I'm not saying I think it's that at all, but just to be...
Already answered that post, could go on for a long time if you are just going to copy and paste your posts. You are focusing on the tiny part of...
people are saying it doesn't work without the wires in place though, which wouldn't be the case if it's just for current (surely it would just...
But the wire goes from one part of the same trace to another on the same trace. It's like having a wire connecting 2 points, then just putting...
It doesn't look like they misdesigned it at all. The area where the solder is looks like a circular pad (just like the other 2 clearly visible...
If you remove the wires, do you have braid? Would like to see if there are vias under the solder, as maybe there is a design flaw and the vias...
You don't even understand why I'm saying it's weird, that's why you do not understand what I've been saying. I've said plenty to explain why it's...
Not for multiple board revisions. And I don't mean understanding issue as in the words we are saying, I mean knowledge of electronics. I could...
No, it seems we have a lack of understanding issue. So, you have a product and get reports of a problem: Instead of investigating the issue - so...
If the board was physically breaking in that area - what about the opposite side? The boards are 2 layer, not just one. The vias clearly lead to...
Separate names with a comma.
