Afternoon ladies and gents,
I've just taken apart a cuboid for a lad at work that had a 'check battery' issue after pissing juice everywhere.
I got it apart and juice wasn't actually sat on anything too important, it looks like its just dribbled down the outside of the battery sleeves so I wiped it all up and started to reassemble when is saw this tiny little brass pin stuck to the inside of the mod with juice.
I assume with this tiny beauty is the cause of the problem because the mod still turns on but says all batteries are at 3.3V when they are actually near full. It looks like it touches the battery terminal on the bottom door when it is shut.
If I tack this back on with a tiny smidge of solder do you reckon this would solve the issue? I'm just wondering with the PCB inlay looking like it is broken.
Thanks
P.S the wet look on the board is some form of protective coating and not juice
