Just got a Raspberry Pi Zero W and was soldering on the header pins. My solder skills are pretty poor and I accidentally got some solder on a ?capacitor? between the header pins and the CPU. There are two of these capacitors right about what I think are pins 16(GPIO22) and 17(3.3V) [assuming I don't have the pin-out reversed.]
Anyways, I was troubleshoot why I couldn't get the ZeroW to boot at all and when I was trying to remove the solder on top of the ?capacitor? I accidentally sheered it off the motherboard! Much to my surprise I can now boot again. Oddly it seems like the text login output to the HDMI for tty1 stops right where it should display a login prompt, but slogin/wifi is working just fine and I'm not seeing any red flags in dmesg or /var/log/messages.
So I have a working ZeroW with a missing part. Is there anyway to know what function(s) that part might be involved in so I can avoid them and keep my system stable? Is there perhaps a stress test of different functions so I can see what is now missing?
Thanks for any help, please forgive my amateurishness, but that the whole reason I'm playing with a $10 board!
