Hey guys, this is a Cherry MX Brown ErgoDox I'm trying to get completed, unfortunately ran into some problems
Right side completed
Gotta say IMHO this case looks amazing, one of the screws was missing, it kinda bothered me so I contacted Falba to see if I could get some info into were to buy it, but they offered to ship it. And I got delicious caramels included on the package because they're awesome like that.
But me in my impatieness (and I love soldering stuff) went ahead and assembled the ergodox forgetting that I have to modify the teensy in order to get it to fit inside the case. Anyways as you can see I lifted some pads off the teensy pcb, I thought I was being delicate but apparently not delicate enough, no one to blame but myself, I'm preety aware of that, as frustrating as it is. I even practiced with another teensy that for some reason unknown to me shorted and burned a tray underneath the pcb.
Here's the pic of said teensy, anyway I'm looking for some advise on how take the USB port out of the teensy, I only have a soldering iron (it's a very decent one I got at a closing RadioShack for $40 at 60% off too good to pass up) but I'm currently looking into buying a hot air rework station (858d if I'm not mistaken) I have a new teensy coming up and definitely don't want to break that one.
