Are the nubs at all replaceable without rework/reflow? I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron, smd, even fixed a broken pin on a cpu once. I might be interested, but I'm curious to know how much a replacement nub would cost.

Yes you could potentially fix them with new nubs. The nubs will be in the region of $10-$15 each when they go on the store.

Just PM me since there are only 7 (note, it's not 8, I typed the title wrong!).

PM was sent

I'd take one for £100

It's cheaper to send them back for rework so we can't just take any offer on them.

They will go back soon as, I'm sure you can tell, today is 'clean up' day and everything is being cleared out one way or another.

Fair enough, I don't need one tbh, I just like haggling.

Looks like these are all sold now. Will update if anyone backs out.

Yeah, we don't have an OP ebay account so we had to use one which was available to us.

I'm assuming that that's Craig. He did say the 4 remaining one nubbers that no one seemed interested in trading for would be sold on ebay.
Personally I'd have put them up as four separate auctions expiring 12 hours apart, but I'm a greedy bastard.

If broken 'nubs' were spread evenly among the population, statistics are not looking good for Pandora:

7/700 = .01 = 1% chance of 2 faulty 'nubs'
.01 ^ .5 = .1 = 10% chance of single faulty 'nub'
1 - (1 - .1) ^ 2 = .19 = 19% chance of Pandora having at least one faulty 'nub'

[greendots]

Your math and logic are off... anyway the company is testing the boards better now that MW sent a nub tester to them.

Except that the faulty nubs were caught. It's like having a bag with 100 marbles, looking in and specifically pulling out 10 black marbles against a sea of white ones, and then asking what the probability of reaching in and pulling out another black one would be. Idealy it would be 0% (you've already pulled out all 10 black ones) but maybe there's a few sitting in the bottom of the bag that you missed. In either case, it isn't 10%, unless your "QA" process of removing marbles had a 50% failure rate itself.

Damn, refeshed the other thread, got one from the one nub on ebay and now I see here , just after I payed, that there are non-nubs for sale...

"_ç-è"éç-'é"ç-'çé"-

How well, at least I got one now and an other on order
