Problem??
I received my 6 251's today and I must say that I am very impressed with how well they are put together. All the components are laid out very fancy and and impressive. I cannot wait to try them out on my machines.
OK. on to my problem. On 2 of the drives that I received, there is a transistor in the corner of the board right above the top of the cap that is very crooked. one is so bad that I believe that it is shorting with one of the pins on the transistor next to it. The other 4 are all straight.
Could I just reheat the solder on the messed up ones to straighten them? Dose it even matter that there crooked?
My other question is: what is with the small jumper wire going across the same edge of the board?
Its not a major problem right away as I only need 3 for my machine. The other 3 are for future machine features/robotics. Whichever come first. I hope I have some time tonight to try them out.! :banana:
