I've had my new PT SL 2.4 for a week, and have had a lot of dropouts as described in a number of threads here, I've been waiting for this since April last year (in Australia, it's been .. frustrating!).
Anyway ... I figured the first thing I'd do would be to replace the hub batteries - EPX76's are $9 each here! So, I pull the hub cover off with the nice hubcover tool, pop the battery cradle out and notice that there's a blue wire briding something on the little circuitboard, but it's not .. ie: it seems to have become detatched from whatever it's meant to be attached to.
So, if anyone has one, can you open it up and let me know where the wire connects? I can re-solder it if I know where it belongs (this kind of really shoddy electronics does *not* belong on such an expensive piece of equipment ...).
The board has a row of 5 pins and a row of six pins, the wire is soldered on at the 6th pin on the bottom row (right next to the '7' at the end of the board track. I think it's meant to connect to the first solder pad on the top row (1 of 5) which isn't actually a pin, but a solder bed. If you look at it, you'll see what I mean. It doesn't make sense though, if that's it, as that's the other end of the same board track, but maybe it's a bridge because the track is dodgey?
Can anyone confirm where the wire should be soldered? Maybe a photo or a diagram?
