Brainwave USB connector failure
Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2014 1:18 am
Hello.
I purchased a Brainwave controller in June via Amazon
Initially the controller worked very well with it's test routine
I attempted to upload the Marlin firmware and I then found the board would fail to respond.
holding down the program and reset buttons did not make the LED flash as indicated by the designer's instructions
Last night, however, the USB connector on the board failed, pulling off it's solder pads, and a small length of the PCB traces.
It does not appear the side pads of the connector were soldered down to secure it to the board
Can I see about getting a replacement board?
