Before I go and order more opamps from Amb, anyone have other suggestions?
Or is it pretty much looking like the AD8397 opamp is fried/defective?
If so, I know that removing these is a pain, as that is what I've read. Can anyone point me to a decent method of removing them without ruining the pads? Like I said, this is my 2nd attempt at a Mini3 because I already screwed up the first PCB. I remember reading about a $14 tool that easily removes the chips.
Hey guys,
I just wanted to let you know that I finally got my new opamp in from Digi-Key, as I also ordered the Chip Quick smd remover from them.
First, let me say that the Chip Quick is well worth the money. I knew it was going to be a pain getting opamp off, especially with the pcb fully populated. I knew I was going to ruined the pcb without some help. Chip Quick made it EXTREMELY easy getting it off. No problems what to ever. I had problems getting the new chip back on because of the populated board.
So, I have the new opamp installed and... IT WORKS!!!
Just wanted to thank MisterX and ShinyFalcon for answering my questions. I learned alot on this project.
I also tested the recharging and that also is working.
