Where do you guys learn all this stuff? I'm amazed. Does Clay's guide have all this stuff?
Yes - Clay documents troubleshooting this board and the mandatory upgrades.. Clay has been an inspiration to pinheads like myself to get involved with these repairs.
I have been doing board repairs for many years now, and it is not as difficult as it looks. I do have an Electronics background, so it does make it easier.
I guess it would be the responsible thing to alert pinheads that the repair knowledge I want to share is based on experience. I have made many mistakes and that's the best way to learn. Electronics and Electricity are not forgiving, so take care if you want to try this yourself.
Right on. Clay's guides mean that if you have fair to good electronic skills you can use the guide to make a lot of board repairs yourself. Without the guide I would be struggling...
