Adafruit GPS Hat Broken Battery and u.FL connector

Post by nmaludy »

Hello Adafruit,

Thinking i have a bad board here. The board had been running fine for a few weeks, came back from Thanksgiving and i wasn't getting GPS signal. Walked over to the board and the battery connector had popped off along with the u.FL connector. This thing was just sitting in my window sill, in my basement.

Should i try soldering these back on, or is there any way i can get a replacement board?

Thanks,
Nick

It looks like the pad has been ripped off so I don't think you could solder the battery holder on but you might be able to add a battery holder to the board with wires. If you don't feel comfortable with this let's try a replacement. Connect [email protected] with a link to this thread and they will arrange a replacement.
