Handspring Thin Modem Repair

I got a email from a guy in response to a post I put on VisorCentral. He had a broken Thin Modem (Springboard module) — the phone connector had come off.

I was a little leery about the extent of the damage, but I told him to send it to me and I’d give it a look.

Here is the before picture:

It turns out that the connector had come clean off, and the pads weren’t that damaged. In fact, they were still intact. I was quite surprised, but relieved as the rework would be much easier.

Below is the finished job:

I’m a bit surprised at Handspring’s quality control here.
