M4.1 - New PCB soldering issue

About to install the new PCB when I realised that two of the electrolytic caps (C29/C40) have dry solder joints causing them to come loose from the board. Looks like some solder paste under the one in the middle (C29) so maybe some reflow profile issues? The board was well packaged, so I don’t suspect transit damage.

Easy solder fix to do by hand, and a quick inspection of the board revealed no other obvious issues.

Good catch! Thank you for the heads up! I have sent your photo to the manufacturer to ask about what went wrong and I will have the factory packing parts check the rest before they are shipped.

If you have any trouble fixing it or want a replacement for any reason let me know and I’ll send you a free one right away
