Bela Mini PWR LED problem

ilijadj

Hi all,
I have a problem with Bela Mini. I have somehow managed to damage pins (P1 side, MISO, MOSI pins). At first, all three USR LEDs flashed but not the PWR LED. After some time, USR LEDs also stopped flashing. Is it time for a replacement or can I do something about it?

Thank you all.

Best,
Illija

Try flashing a fresh image on the sd card, (https://github.com/BelaPlatform/bela-image-builder/releases), but if that does not work, it sounds Ike it's time for a replacement.

@giuliomoro thank you for a fast reply. unfortunately, it doesn't boot
can i replace it with beaglebone and solder all top parts?

in principle you could source a Pocket Beagle, desolder the BelaMini cape from yours and solder it on the new one, however:

it's very hard to find PocketBeagle on the market right now
the desoldering process is complicated and requires specialised tools and skills
the PocketBeagle is the likely source of failure, but it cannot be excluded that it is the cape instead
if you have the tools and skills, attempt the desoldering first and see if the PocketBeagle alone boots.

thank you once again
I believe I cannot do it alone then :/
will order a new one and be more careful
