I am assembling a Falbatech Ergodox. Unfortunately, they sent me a counterfeit Teensy which was total junk and wouldn't work with Ergodox firmwares. They sent me a new one, but the counterfeit was already soldered onto the headers. During removal, one of the pads on the Ergodox PCB fell off. Argh!!!
I think I have come up with a solution but I could really use some verification first since hardware just isn't my thing.
This is the detached pad. See the pad just above the 'e' in "Laminate"
I think, based on what I can see from the trace that I can run a jumper like the picture below. Then I can use the jumper wire to attach to the Teensy in place of the broken header. But I still don't fully understand how PCB design works. If I solder below the jumper to the hole below the '8', will this connect to the same spot that the Teensy header would have connected before the rip?
Back side/Ripped side proposed repair:
Front side/Teensy side proposed repair:
If this isn't a good solution, can somebody recommend a solution? Also, if it matters, I actually want to mount the Teensy as close to the board as possible so I won't install headers again. I'll just use Kapton tape between the Ergodox PCB and the Teensy.
Thanks! (please help!!!)
