Ya know, thats really not a bad idea. I think I may try my hand at that as I have a Job Lot right next to me and they have things like that for about 1 USD

Some say it doesn't need C6. It's smoothing the 5v power, and there's onother on the same rail - C32, 47uF - by the USB fuses. So not having it shouldn't be a problem, unless you're into USB power trouble. Soldering it back could be difficult if you're not used to dealing with surface mount, but if...

well it is reported that they have stock available for returns and they come back fairly rapidly [also I reckon a lot of returns are tested and shipped back out as they are not broken .... but that's another issue] and again I say it's up to you .;-p you could have a go at soldering it back on or r...

posting from mobile, is that the one near the power input, if so that is a smoothing one and it can be run without it. how did it fall off ? and it's up to you if you want to return - get another one ordered and use this one as more adventurous experiments ;-p returns are pretty quick YMMV but you ...

Do I send it back to Farnell? How long is the turnaround (if you know)?

Hi, as the title says, the C6 capacitor fell off my board. Any help? Should I attempt to solder the capacitor on myself? Should I try for a replacement board? Any help is greatly appreciated

I just got my Blackberry Pearl Flip charge in from Amazon (5 USD with free shipping) and finally gave my Aunt her Kindle Fire charger back, both are great if you have one or the other lying around.

Well, I got to the root of the problem. Turns out that the poster that suggested another card reader was correct. It doesnt seem to play well with internal card readers.

Thank you everyone, now I get to play with my Pi

Have you cleared out the partitions on the card before you use DD? If not, you'll need to do that first (you can see how on both my & Davespice's blogs - links above) Yes, the partitions have been cleaned out. Even though ive been hitting a brick wall here, I just wanted to thank everyone thats bee...

I already tried that, problem is, its the same type of card; SDHC 8GB Class 4. This was to no avail as well

Well, so far, I have tried DD for Windows, running Win32DI in XP mode, tried running Win32 multiple times. None have worked.

You'll need to run the command prompt as an administrator user (right-click on the icon, Run as Administrator)

Unfortunately I did that, double checked even.

HI, I recently go my Pi in the mail and have been trying to get it up and running. My first step was to create a Debian image on an SD card. The card is a Sandisk SDHC class 4 8GB. I have tried to use Win32 Disk Imager to do this. I follow the steps exactly but the problem I run into is that, while ...
