Would Pine64 replace these defective boards? Obviously it's only some of them that have this issue.
I opened a support ticket with them to see if they would just replace the board.
If they only had to replace boards for the number of people here on this forum that are having issues, I'd hope it wouldn't be too much of a burden. I understand this was a Kickstarter project and all.
I'd even be willing to fork over another $30 or whatever as long as I could make sure I didn't get another defective unit.
It may be totally nuts, but I've needed a new soldering station for a while now... so I'm buying a new one with thermistat and heat gun. I'm planning to reflow the RTL 8211E as well all the other components on that end of the board... what the hell... its only $29 dollars, right?
