Spent almost $600 on two new WPC89 MPU boards from linkpete. Arrived today. First one DOA. Transplanted the ROM to the second one, second one works. Guarantees his boards are tested and 100% working, but is now refusing to give any refunds. Trying to blame it on the buyers, "since he tested it". He also photoshopped the photos he took and is using an electronics kit from TwoBits. The +5 V LED doesn't even light, this is really poorly done.
Going to open a dispute with eBay/PayPal... in the meantime, I've tested C31 and its reporting 0 ohms on the multimeter, doesn't this suggest the capacitor is failing? It looks like a pretty shoddy solder job. Any other ideas on what circuits would be good to test in case I'm stuck with this pile of crap?
