Alright so my parts board from eBay came and I was very excited to get a good connector for the battery. I figured first I’d just try the new board and see if it worked nope not that easy screen just shows garbage and I didn’t get any boot chime.
So I switched back to the original board and verified it still booted to the flashing folder. It did so first step is to remove the old broken connector.

Then I grabbed the connector off the donor board.

Then decided to epoxy a few broken standoffs while I was in there.
