i say nay to use it without it and yay to asking somebody else to test theirsIt may work completley fine without it if its a filter cap, or you can try bridging the pads. Without a schematic or the cap that you lost theres no way to tell other than asking someone else to test the cap on their board
Just as dangerous to an unskilled hand as soldering to the cap its self. To a skilled hand soldering to the cap is much easier then scraping the trace. Also since your waiting for cpu reset, the closets joint to the reset pin is going to be the most accurate.A note to anybody else attempting this mod, follow the trace from that capacitor and scrape the trace lightly and solder there instead.
Well I've chucked ample warning in every thread about the install I'm telling ya tiny solder guy is gonna make a killing. And with the SwitchME mod entering production soon I'm afraid we may see a lot more threads popping up!Just as dangerous to an unskilled hand as soldering to the cap its self.

14 years of doing this stuff as a day job
If the stars align I will help you out - I need free time and an acquaintances fluke. but if its a filter cap, I probably cant help you - I cant understand the difference between a filter cap and a ferrite bead. filters act like fuses in my brain, like how you can revive an ipad pro by running wire in place of filters (I do have the appropriate ferrite beads now, but I still don't fully understand 'noise'")Hi,
while soldering the trinket board I slipped off with my soldering iron and lost one capacitor (see attachment).
Does anyone know which capacitor I should buy to fix this issue?
I will remember your nick soon and stop calling you tiny solder guy by the way :-/If the stars align I will help you out - I need free time and an acquaintances fluke. but if its a filter cap, I probably cant help you - I cant understand the difference between a filter cap and a ferrite bead. filters act like fuses in my brain, like how you can revive an ipad pro by running wire in place of filters (I do have the appropriate ferrite beads now, but I still don't fully understand 'noise'")
I don't mind, call me whatever you want! when I was living with my parents I thought my name was shithead and get wood (firewood, we lived in the country)I will remember your nick soon and stop calling you tiny solder guy by the way :-/
lmfao, you shouldve just paid tiny solder guy
I thought I was right on time?The guy went missing when people need him the most.
He's been here since tiny soldering came back upThe guy went missing when people need him the most.
