I already have a bodge wire planned for future updates

[PhilC]

@JezC I guess you could melt a bodge wire into the crack and fix it that way?

Hot glue stick guns are the tool for some of us

It would need pvc cerment to glue it. But it would end up on the contacts and bugger it totally then. So I don't think glue is a good idea.

Though I may keep that board as I still need a test rig to test CPUs somehow yet. So I may end up removing a socket anyway.

The DFB1X has arrived safely.

I was rather disappointed.. there was no cat in the box.

Sadly I'm going to have to give this batch a miss. Won't bore with the details but our work has put us in notice that there could be layoffs.

So unfortunately I need to be sensible and save my money until work is sorted.
