Set it on the kitchen counter on top of a box....i turn away for one second...it and the box falls.....did a complete deluxe recap to it.......total waste of money..was a working board too....just pissed away time and money.

And no, im not going to bend it back into place and fix the traces.....its officially a parts board now.

I have 6 other G07 chassis laying around that need a recap...I will just salvage the new caps off this one and refurbish another one, which i planned on recapping one anyway....so not a complete loss i guess.
 
what are you going to do with the broken one? If you're stripping caps off of it consider selling it?? Maybe? :)
 
Sucks it happened, but I think you're smart keeping it to harvest parts from. With 6 others, there's a chance you may need another part from it, or to test and compare with.

I have no idea why you'd do this. It's way more work than fixing the broken corner.

Super glue the corner and repair the traces. Maybe 2 hours at the most. Most of that is waiting for the super glue to fully dry.

Eventually these chassis are going to become harder to find. Then we will wish we had the ones that had a small crack or broken corner.
 
yeah, fix it. Besides, its good practice.

And do the SYNC mod while youre working on it. :)

For $8 in caps you would take the time to pull every cap back off of this chassis? Put it at the end of the queue and when you're done capping the other 6 G07's you might feel better about repairing it.
