Day 5: Fist Day Down

Well, Data-Brilliant-Boy decided to swap the X and Y controller cable with the power ON!  A definite NO-NO!  Y stepper board survived.  X did not.  Overnighted 2 more stepper boards from New York, and 5 driver chips from Digikey in case we can repair ourselves.

Cards are due in tomorrow, so we tested to make sure Y Stepper and, most importantly, the Motherboard survived, they both did.  Thank Data. 

ChipQuick is a wonderful product and really good at removing SOIC chips.  Closeup of Driver Card with Driver Chip removed:
