Duet won't boot problem

I took a microscope and the u3 is indeed damaged.
could be worth noting it may be covered by the manufacturers warranty if the board is less than 6 months; unless its caused by a short in wiring or other external factors.

@bearer The board is more than 1 year old. I thought we have EU warranty 2 years,but apparently not.

that could be something to ask your vendor about; I would have consumer protection rights if purchased locally even if the manufacturer says 6 months but I can't speak to your local rules; and it would be a matter for the vendor, not the manufacturer.

I found this one, seems to be within fast shipping reach.

Looks like the correct one. (but you will need a hot air station, a preheater/hotplate and some good flux as well)

Have hotair, no preheat and really doing this the first time.

@bearer are the other 2 numbers important? 4403T XXXX YYYL ? cause there are many versions with different X and Y

just be carefull with the surrounding parts, shield with kapton or alu tape (don't take the paper backing off the alu tape, it makes a mess (when very hot))

to add on Tonys reply; usually the last few numbers/letters refer to packageing, both in terms of which package it is (qnf, qft, bga sop etc) and how its packaged, tape, tray, tube etc; and the details are usually in the datasheets. (I posted the variant that is commonly available as "cut tape" in low quantity)

I was something else wrong with the board. The U3 gets fried again, even with no connections except the power IN.
I will buy a replacement, but really not see a point buy from duet with only 6months of warranty. This should be fixed in general.
Even shoes and heavily wearing products have 2 years. Shame. -
Sorry to hear you've had an unfortunate hardware failure and were unable to resolve it. The warranty provided can be reviewed here: https://www.duet3d.com/warranty
Unfortunately you're out of the warranty period it would seem. However, we may be able to provide you with a refurbished board at a reduced price on exchange. Please contact roland@duet3d.com to inquire about current availability.
