I managed to check all the connections this morning and found that pin 15 (RXW) isn't connecting. It looks like when I removed the existing chip I must have damaged that track :oops:
The track for that pin isn't visible so does anyone have any suggestions on how I can repair it?
Cheers

This week I'm doing tech support for a CSIRO cluster. I got much more satisfaction in seeing that Falcon working again. :-) Nice one.
