Haarp build at a stand still, send help!

[pedalman82]

So this is my second ambitious build. After a successful woodpecker build, I decided to try the haarp. Everything we smooth until I realized I left the FV-1 until last thinking it was probably the most expensive thing on the board. needless to say I made a mess. broke one of the legs off the chip and looks like I have torn off two contact points on the board.

is there anyway to fix this? or should I just buy a new board and start over?

Maybe when you order the new board, you get it with the FV-1 pre-soldered

The two pads on the board that were damaged go to ground, as does the leg that broke off the FV-1.

If there's any of pin 25 left on the chip you could connect it to pin 24, then connect that to another ground source.

If it were mine, I'd give it a shot before tossing the board, but I'm also a stubborn masochist, so your mileage may vary.

Good luck!

thanks, I think I will try. will be a "learning experience" at best.
