I also had L1 brake loose in the same fashion but luckily it
hadn't broken it's wires yet, a little epoxy fixed the issue but
it was a packing issue also.

Hi folks ¡ I received my BITX40 today (my 3rd) and found that L1
had been torn loose from the board. ?It was rattling around in the
plastic box. ?After examining the way the board, Raduino, and
connecting wires had been packed in the box, it seemed to me that
the Raduino had been forced into the plastic container. ?It was
right over L1, L2, and L3. ?It¡¯s not a stretch to believe that in
packing the Raduino, it had been forced into the box in such a way
as to tear L1 loose from the board. ?This is NOT an assembly,
testing, or shipping problem! ?It appears that it is a packing
problem. ?Who knew??
I suggest that Farhan caution his packers to go a
little lighter on the "forcing things to fit¡± part of packing.
I have attempted a repair ¡ it is ugly ¡ but if it
works I¡¯m fine with it (the leads left on L1 were pretty short).
All in all, I¡¯m a satisfied customer. ?By the way,
it was a 10-11 day ship time. ? :-)

I will stop at nothing to reach my objective,
but only because my brakes are defective.? ?Ashley
