welp, i got em all lookin like the “OK” pics (thanks for sharing that by the way, very helpful to have on hand while in the act~), gave the display pins some love too and cleaned em all up… not sure if more pics are warranted or if pics of other parts would be useful.
recent things that may or may not be relevant? but are all I can think of...
- I did hook up a bleached that was giving me some problems. Although I’m fairly certain I had all the issues with the bleached resolved prior to plugging it into norns, there is still a bit of grounding weirdness if I use the pots without knobs. Had it working with the norns though, and wasn’t using it at the moment that the encoder died. In fact I’ve used the bleached with it since the encoder died, as replacement controls, lol.
- new power supply—now plugging the USB directly into a surge protector that has USB charging ports, instead of the wall plug/phone-like usb power. voltage and mA seemed appropriate, purchased from a reputable source.
