Etherdongle [Sold]
« on: September 08, 2012, »
I built a second Etherdongle controller and its doesn't work.  Unfortunatly, I do not have time this year to troubleshoot and attempt to fix it.  The magicjack green light powers on, but nothing else.  The pic flashes fine.
 
I make a mistake while building the board by installing the 7805 backwards.  When removing the 7805 I lifted some of the traces from the board.  I created a bridge to fix the trace using a piece of wire, but the board still doesn't work.  I am pretty sure I have 3.3v and 5.0v where needs so I don't think the 7805 is the issue.  I believe the issue maybe with the SM Ethernet chip.

If someone else has time to troubleshoot the board, I would be willing with ship the board for the cost of shipping.  All I would ask is if you are able to repair the board, send me what you think the board is worth.

Hello Mark,

The Etherdongle shipped out today priority mail.  It should be there Thursday.  I included the case too.  I hope you are able to fix it and put it too good use.
