Laptop WIP, But got a quick question

Post by scttyb69 » Wed Aug 12, 2009 3:12 pm

Alright, I didn't even notice this until today.

the USB/Ethernet port was unsoldered a while ago, and today I noticed I'm missing two pins on it.

Looking for suggestions as to what to do.

Can I put new pins in? Are they not needed? Should I remove the USB from the Ethernet and then solder directly to the ethernet (internal) pins?

Thanks

Yea, Ill try to find replacements for the parts I have butchered.

AV out is in pretty bad shape, but should still work fine, pins are just pushed back a little bit.

Removing caps and hdd connector tonight.

Curious, which of the two systems that this subforum is for, that have ethernet ports, are you making into a laptop?
