Hey - Been lurking for a while but time to ask a few questions :D
Ive ended up buying 2 CF7.5s because I think Ive burned one slice of toast :(
Hooking up a switch I may have somehow shorted something, now the Activation switch pin seems permanently
ON. I think I must have killed the input pin diode or something on the uC.
The saber comes on when power is applied, but cannot be turned off again, so I think the pin is permanently closed.
When I do a continuity test on my multimeter between the act. pad and the Gnd pad I get a signal. (with nothing soldered on the pads)
Not sure this is right - I dont want to screw with the 2nd CF by checking on that one the same thing.
If the pin is dead, is there any way I can salvage this board, by some clever hack or something?
If not is Erv or TCSS doing any repairs these days?
BTW this has all been to do a Tri-Cree conversion on my MR ANH Luke , so Ill post a thread separately on that soonish
Cheers!
