Attempting to resurrect an old Duet 0.6
-
I'm building yet another printer, and I only plan on using a single extruder, so I got my Duet 0.6 out of my spare parts cupboard. The last printer I'd run it with had a far too powerful heater, so the V -in portion of the power plug was a bit disfigured, so I replaced it with a new one. As I was doing so, about 5mm of trace came loose from the underside of the board, leading from the V -in plug, so I covered that with a bit of solder.
Since then I've had trouble with powering it on.
When I turn on the power supply, a light briefly flashes next to the power plug, but nothing else happens.
If I plug the USB in, I can connect.
If I turn the power supply and USB on, I can't connect, but the red light near the USB shines slightly brighter.
Is the board toast?

Nevermind! Just couldn't connect by USB for some reason. Ethernet works fine!

It would be better to solder a piece of fairly thick copper wire on top of that loose PCB trace, wrapped round the VIN post at the end.
