/diy/ - Do It Yourself

>>1093737
I just repaired my 2 broken ones here >>1093968

The one works perfectly fine, fixed the washed out LCD issue.
Its a Sainsmart, looks like all the other decent clones out there and is recognized by the official arduino drivers.

The second one didnt come back to life
Its an ultra ultra cheap one that requires the weird proprietary chinese drivers. Its not even laid out normally like the rest of my clone megas.
Im not too sad about it honestly, I wont ever buy another mega unless I can see its the standard layout.

My Sainsmart, and two Ieik branded boards are laid out exactly like the official board (top).
The unbranded one that has shitty drivers is laid out like the bottom one, and it didnt take much at all to really kill the board.
