Title: Need to get my Ducky Shine repaired...help? :-/
Post by: Moleboy on Sun, 17 March 2013, 21:06:44

The switch on my Ducky Shine v1's spacebar is shot, and I need it repaired. Never done any soldering, and have no equipment to do so.  Is there anywhere I can get the switch replaced (that's the issue with it), or does someone trusted on here do repairs? :-/

there are several people who have sold Assembly services in the past. I can't remember everyone off the top of my head, but I'm sure someone may be able to help you out.

Cheers,

Shipping cost + repair cost,, ~$30

You might as well take this opportunity to learn basic soldering

It's not exactly the hardest thing to learn and do, especially since these switches are so BIG... no smd = foolproof


Ghetto Soldering iron kit + soldering pump or soldering braid ~ $30

Soldering can be fun if you got the time for it. I dont mind helping if you really dont want to solder.
