Hey all, would like opinions on what to do here:
On my Getaway that I've had for about 3 years, I was finally looking into why it had a Kahr board on it. Followed most of PinWiki for low 5V: Reflowed J101 header pins, reflowed PDB ground pads, sanded rust off of 2 backplane mounting pads and replaced missing and rusty mounting screws. Now 9.2 V coming into PDB, 4.9 V out (a little low?). Removed the Kahr board and no resets so far.
Anyway, I realized BRs 1-4 were previously replaced, all are nearly tight to the board and no heat sink on BR1/2. I don't think a heat sink will go on as is because they are at different heights. Not sure how it would go getting them off the board because I might not be able to cut legs first.
So the question is leave as is until a BR blows or do a preemptive strike?
