Yep.
OK, I'll look into it. I did try a 2K2 and it had no effect. Obviously needs a stronger pull.

Only had a 560R, which is close enough.

No real change.

P.S. Other than the TF fails to boot. It starts and then crashes and starts again.

I was going to build a second board today, cleaner, with the new caps and no bodges (yet) but desoldering the turned pin headers from the Mk.I board has failed. They stick to the board too well and either break the pins or strip the traces, or both. The Hakko just can't get all the solder out from under the pin on the far side of the board.

So, I have no pin headers... Quick order in to @exxos!

I do hope that the care package (order) from Exxos turns up today... I needs header pins. :-)

Check the tracking it would normally say if it is out for delivery or not... ?

The "Signed for" tracking just says that it was posted about 2pm yesterday and the next update will be after delivery is attempted.
