EDIT:  The two blades are sold.   I will sell the hub for BTC0.03 shipping included.   For this price, with shipping included, I will only ship to US addresses.

I have spent way too much time trying to troubleshoot these broken items...
1) Block Erupter Blade V2 - does not flash led on boot, there appears to be something wrong with the 3.3v section of the board (take a look at this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=349105.new#new)
2) Block Erupter Blade V2 - boots but all chips show 'x's, I would be very surprised if all the BE chips are fried.   I think this is another voltage problem.  I just cant track down where.
3) Asicminer 49 Port hub - the fuse melted and I tried removing it and replacing it with no luck.  When power is applied even when the fuse mount points are shorted it does not turn on. I tried removing the melted fuse holder and soldering the fuse to the board with no luck.  The fuse melting issue seems to be a fairly common problem. (see: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=336911.0)

Both blades have two or three 0805 resistors missing.  I moved parts back and forth between the board while troubleshooting.  Nothing major and easily orderable from Digikey.

Asking: BTC0.4  This includes free shipping in the US.   International will be extra.
