desoldering U10

[rygoofer]

When desoldering the U10 near the MX chip, I accidentally removed one of the resistors next to it, it is a really small resistor and I am not sure I have the tools to solder it back on. Is this something I shoud be worried about fixing?

The component is a capacitor and no it's not needed it is OK.

perfect, thanks! I did it again on the U5 next to the GPU, so that is good to know

ok new problem, when I try and connect the U10 by the GPU and CPU, some of the pads detached from the motherboard. Is there a way to work around this?

 

[rygoofer]

here it is with the U10

it does not need the pads unless all the 3 pins are connected the pin to the left is connected to 3.3 v and the pin closest to where it says u5 is connected to the via

Thanks for the help, right now the left pin is not connected, is there a way to connect it to 3.3 v?

 

[jeffery]

any 3.3 v source I personally would use one of the vias in the 3.3v plane

Thanks!
One last question (for now) the back of the mother board looks different then the pictures for soldering the wire to the GPU pin. The mother board is a C/RVL-CPU-01 which I know isn’t the recommended one to use, is that a problem?
If not where do I need to solder the wire?

 

[jeffery]

use the 6layer expansion guide since you have a 6layer

awesome! thanks

No problem
