Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Re: Blown power supply?

[Jan Nowack]

Hi Jesper, hi all,
unfortunately we also have a blown power supply. And this happend on
our first flight :(.
Do you have any tips how to change, especially remove the
PTH08080WAH-Module from the tiny board? Do you have used any "special
equipment" for this?

Greetings
