So my QMX board showed up with the Q103/Q104 short and I figured I would try to fix that before starting on the actual build. Has anyone successfully done this with a soldering iron, as opposed to a hot air gun? I've never done any SMD work, but figured Q103 is big, so maybe I can heat up the large pad and nudge it over, but it wouldn't budge with increasingly aggressive heating. I decided to try and the gate and source pins first, and ... Q103 shattered at the gate pin.
I know this thing is very much in development, but it's frustrating to have a defect like this on a board intended for kit builders. Maybe Hans can offer replacement power boards for some nominal fee since these have been causing so many problems for people? For now I'm setting this project aside.
