minutebkeys: i was able to fix the other customer's board by indeed swapping U10 for a new one16:45
minutebkeys: you can buy the chip here https://www2.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Texas-Instruments/SN65DSI86IPAPRQ1?qs=sGAEpiMZZMutXGli8Ay4kPxcInUG6p5idYYeGF%252BMjBo%3D16:46
minutebkeys: if you know someone who can (de)solder smd, you should be all set16:47
minutebkeys: hmm no, the problem reappeared17:13
minutebkeys: update, the problem was indeed fixed by swapping U10. secondary problem was short of 1.8V to gnd that i introduced accidentally on one pin by hand soldering.17:30
joschminute: i just read your latest mastodon post. I grew up with my father repairing TV sets 30 years ago -- this is impossible today. You just throw the TV away. The fact that one can repair your hardware the way you describe is one of the largest reason why I want to keep buying from you.17:55
minutejosch: oh, thank you!18:02
bkeysminute: So I gotta send it back to the repair shop...18:13
bkeysWhere is this chip located on the board?18:18
bkeysNvm I found it18:19
bkeysI would say I have moderate skills with a soldering iron; I don't know if I can solder something this small18:19
bkeysDo I have to desoler every single little pin on the chip?18:20
bkeysI might try to repair it; I have never done this before but I suppose this is a chance to learn18:27
minutebkeys: there's big fuckup potential if you don't know what you're doing18:32
bkeysWell I have soldered wires together but I have never done component level repair18:32
bkeysGosh I just spend almost 300 USD to get it repaired and now this18:33
minutebkeys: yeah, it is too risky then to start practising on this part18:33
minutebkeys: was the display working before you sent it to repairs?18:33
bkeysYes18:33
minutebkeys: so they might have broken it in the process?18:33
minutedid you send them only the motherboard or the whole device?18:34
bkeysPossibly, I can call them and ask about it18:34
bkeysThe whole device18:34
minutedid they connect it up by themselves again? maybe they had the display connector the wrong way around and caused a short?18:34
minutebkeys: also, to rule out software issues, you have a stock SD card, yes?18:35
minutei mean, with the stock image?18:35
minutebkeys: it's also possible that they broke the display when handling it somehow18:35
minutei see three possibilities: the display itself, U10, or the SOM (unlikely). or the cable (unlikely)18:36
minute(if software issues are ruled out)18:37
bkeysI have the stock SD card yes18:38
bkeysminute: Just got off the phone with them and they said the repair itself has a warranty and they will repair it free of charge18:38
bkeysWhich is a relief, I'm not exactly swimming in cash at the moment18:38
bkeysSo given that, I really do recommend these people18:39

minutebkeys: oh that's great. i hope that them swapping U10 will fix the problem then18:46
bkeysYeah I will do a write up to help their technician narrow it down18:47
bkeysI am relieved that these PSI people are helping like this18:47

vkoskivI'm packing my stuff, heading there shortly. Will show off Reform to as many as possible :D19:20

Boostisbetteranyone on here using the Reform as their primary computing device?21:46
bkeysI am trying to21:48
joschBoostisbetter: yes, me21:50
Boostisbettermost excellent. I go through spouts of it, but haven't been super consistent. I think the pocket reform might finally get me to that point. 21:57
dodoit's kinda hot.. like 10C more than my other laptops, around 50+ish22:01
dodoplan to take it on a trip in a few weeks though22:02
BoostisbetterYeah, mine is around 50 too, but because of the acrylic bottom and the way the heatsink is attached, you don't really feel that through the bottom of the case much. 22:03
Boostisbetterwhelp, I'm rolling the dice and upgrading the Reform. 800+ packages to be updated. But as this is an internet facing laptop I figure I got to gamble every once in a while. 22:18

Boostisbetterthe update went great, nothing broke22:44
Boostisbetterwoot! I have no idea if I am sys-3 atm, but that is great. 22:46
BoostisbetterI love the Reform and being able to update is great. 22:46
dododebian upgrades are usually pretty smooth.. with unstable i wouldn't wait too long though22:51
