Re: GekkoScience NewPac / Terminus R606 (BM1387) Official Support Thread
Hello,
today I moved my R606 a bit and suddenly the mini usb connector came of the pcb and it was still attached to the cable.
cheap soldering with on top only connector
I placed it back on the board and soldered 2 of the side legs so that it's stuck again.
But now my R606 isn't detected anymore.
The speed buttons still seems to work as the leds change tho.
I guess the small usb port is the mining port and the big port an additional 5V usb powering port?
Could it be that something shorted while the connector came off and how can I tell what's still working and what not?

Data is in the centre.
You'll need to have it repaired (or do it yourself) but make sure not to short the data lines, they go directly into the FTDI chip.
If the port ripped off though, it's possible the data pads are gone or even the traces, so best would be a picture.
As I mentioned before, I offer to do little electronic repairs if it's inside EU
