Title: Margo's Mods - Back Open
Post by: margo baggins on Mon, 15 August 2016, 08:33:47
Hello everyone,

I'm back open for taking stuff if any of you UK or euro people need services.

$37.50 an hour, or £30 an hour. Let me know what you need and I'll let you know how many hours it will be.

Reflows, SMT, building keyboards, building point to point keyboards.

I won't take on any metal work\plate work or anything like that.

If pro audio is your cup of tea, I can build you a nice DAC or Headphone amp - PM me for more details. Working on a Poweramp at the moment but I haven't finished the prototype.

As ever - you can find me with [CTRL]ALT, on my imgur here http://margobaggins.imgur.com/ or on my website here www.mattartley.com

Currently the waiting list is very short,

- RS68 repair - posted back
- TX1800 for Bunny - 50% complete
- GON 60 for Bunny - 0% complete
- Nothing

Just fixed an RS68 for a forum user, it was completely dead. Was missing some SMT parts.

to fix:

- desoldered switches
- Changed USB port as was broken
- soldered on missing SMT caps (0402 size)
- board still didn't do anything - probed it with my meter and it was full of electricity in all the places it should have been
- Hooked up my serial interface to the isp port on the board to test the controller, which was fine - took a backup of the firmware which was GIBBERISH! corrupted firmware :)
- Soldered a couple of switches and LEDs to see if i could get into the bootloader
- Booted the board into the bootloader
- Flashed new firmware
- Flashed key map
- moved some of the SMT LED to replace some that had been broken (moved the 2 under the RS68 logo to the side positions where some were missing - you don't need 4 LED around the logo :) )
- added 2u stabs, fixed space bar stab
- Soldered it back up
- Tested

FIXED

Owner of that RS68 and now a very happy bunny now that it's in working order again. First time sending something to Margo and am more than satisfied with the constant updates I was given at every step and it was back in my hands the very next day, as good as new, after I was told it was fixed and working. Nothing to fault, impeccable throughout.

Thanks again Margo   :thumb:

Still enjoying the Orion that you built for me.

Guess you might be seeing that Weaven soon enough. ;)

There are some elements of yellow, yes :D

And, for the record, two elements of (translucent) red and one of GiD blue on this particular HHKB.
