This is a mosfet transistor to allow the USB port to power the dongle off if it needs to. It is in backwards and your dongle would do just what you say it does because of this.  Take your time it will be had to remove without damage to the board due to all three pins having to be heated at the same time and kept hot will removing it.

Wouldnt a solder sucker or desolder braid work well for these types of boards.

[Rainlover]

These work great. I have screwed up a lot of soldering and this has saved me. I think Bill is the first one that recommended this.

I've used that (even have it warmed up with my normal iron, and i aldo use the desolder wick

[holland lights]

yea everyone makes mistakes. I mean last year i put all of my triacs on a 10 channel board i made in wrong. Didnt notice till i pluged im to much pull and smoked the chips. Because if the triacs arnt working it pulls it through the chips. But i had a back up, which turns out i put them in right.

I second the motion withthe radio shack desolder you can heat up 1 leg at a time it will suck all the solder out of the holes just don't ask me how I know LOL best 11.00 dollars I have spent

[chrisatpsu]

are all the people that are having trouble with the dongle taken care of?

[holland lights]

All except for mmais68569 . Hes needing a new mosfet, he broke the pins off of his.

[mmais68569]

I re soldered the broken piece & now I have a red & green light so that must mean it is now correct & going to work.

Yeap sounds good. Now see if you get blinky lights. Im almost done with my first controller, its not a lynx 16, it only has 10 channels.

[trekster]

What has 10 channels and it is not a Lynx controller? ........................................................... Times up....   

Gee I don't know?   

What does have 10 channels, can be controlled by DMX and makes blinky lights?

Tell us please
