Amdhunter Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Posted August 29, 2015 So I was putting my box together, and all of a sudden somehow I popped the damn fuse. I'm still no sure exactly what happened, but I do know what I was doing. I was soldering the wire for the fire button when it happened. Somehow it arc'ed but I have no idea how. What I don't understand is if it arc'ed to the other wire for the button it would have just fired it, right? Brandon, John, is there any way I can replace the fuse or get a chip swapped out? This sucks... I was one solder away from having it together but nooo, fate would not have it! Thanks, Hunter
VapingBad Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 It does say in the data sheet that one of the fire switch connections is at the positive battery voltage, is your button fully isolated from the case? The fuses can be replaced ther is a thread here somewhere.
Podunk Steam Posted August 29, 2015 Report Posted August 29, 2015 Pretty sure the fuse type is on page 10 of the manual, if memory serves me anyway.
Amdhunter Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Posted August 30, 2015 You know, I looked in the manual last night and totally missed that section. Problem is I don't think I have the equipment to do surface mount stuff...
turbocad6 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Posted August 30, 2015 sorry this happened but really it's a good idea to try to not solder to a live board, you should solder everything first leaving the battery connection for last. the fuse isn't a very hard surface mount thing to do, the fuse ends and pads are pretty large compared to most typical things that are surface mount, it's worth a shot to try if you can get the fuse
