Title: blown chip on Duo? (eBay listing)
Post by: wilykat on February 18, 2015, 08:16:57 PM: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111598520733

One picture shows the motherboard and if you look at the right side chip, it looks like something was burning. Blown chip? Hard to fix or worth trying to buy it to fix it?

Post by: choijimmy on February 19, 2015, 12:28:31 AM: I would pass as well. the seller is a very experienced guy for fixing Retro hardware. If He can't fix it, most of the people can't fix it

Post by: xinsizionx on February 19, 2015, 12:40:19 PM: i have another email where he says that he tried to have it fixed and it can't be done.

Post by: NightWolve on February 19, 2015, 12:45:26 PM: Yeah, sounds like this is something for someone like Steve to buy, fix, resell, if interested etc.
