Has anyone had an issue where the PADs for the oscillator came off of the PCB?

On two of the 20 units I did the 16Mhz/1.2K mods on, two out of the four pads for the oscillator came off with the SMD??.....

So two casualties out of the 20..... Sad

lol

Anyone had this happen to them, and has ANYONE been able to get them to work again with replacing the pads? I can upload pics shortly if anyone needs or wants to see it... This happen to one of the older units and one of the newest versions of the USB miners.

Thanks in advance!!

well you can solder a small wire strand, just the oscillator pad or the whole trace to the BE100? you should see the mess I have with one. I pulled all the parts and stripped it , and mapped it out, trying to put it back together pulled a trace on the silabs chip and on the BE100 , had to make another board to hold the silabs , got the BE100 back on and none of it works
