Howdy
Just finished my QMX and after long inspection tried to power it up on 8 volts but nothing happened. No display, no magic smoke...nada.
I felt around the radio, and noticed that the 3 header power board was warm so I took the radio apart to look for problems.
I desoldered the six pin socket because the little circled trace looked like a short.?
That's when I noticed that D103 was just hanging from the back of the pcb.
Anyway when D103 came loose, it took one side of the pad with it, so I could not re-solder it.
Not sure that D103 was the reason for non-op but I need help replacing the board and some trouble shooting.
What do you recommend
Thx
