Does anyone know the model number and / or parameters of the diode that is directly behind the mining chip (like on the opposite side of the PCB)?
I recently got my hands on a Compac F where that diode is missing. Would be sick to get it working!
Sidehack will have to chime in to confirm but I believe it is a capacitor -- not a diode. Somewhere further back in the thread there is talk about measuring the Vcore across it and it was referred to as a cap..
Mine melted off when I first got one. Sidehack assured me its not a vital component and mine has been hashing away fine ever since.
