Rommudoh<p>I fixed the mistake with the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/MOSFET" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MOSFET</span></a> and didn't even have to turn it on its back. I lost one in the attempt to bend the legs.<br>Now the power gets cut when it's over 5.53 Volts. Both LEDs turn off then, but fixing that would require cutting traces underneath the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/comparator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>comparator</span></a>, which I don't want to unsolder again.<br>Time to attach a cable and use it for protecting my <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Commodore</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/C64" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>C64</span></a><br><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/diyelectronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diyelectronics</span></a> <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a></p>
Rommudoh<p>Today my new <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/PCBs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PCBs</span></a> arrived.
