While adding a connector for the digital and analog headers, I accidentally snapped off a round component on the main board with polarity symbols.
I did my best to solder it back into place, but in case it didn't work, what does that component do so I know what to expect if things don't work?
I've attached a photo with the component circled in yellow.

It is a capacitor and is required for the ECU to operate properly. I cannot tell you specifically what it is for.

Do you know if the ECU will power up if that capacitor isn't connected (or properly connected)?
Trying to determine a way to test if I soldered it enough for it to perform it's function.

I can't tell you what it will do if it is not connected properly. You will have to test and see if it works as it should.

Thanks for the response -- pointing it out as a capacitor was actually pretty helpful.Spunkster wrote: Tue Jan 12, 2021 2:47 pm I can't tell you what it will do if it is not connected properly. You will have to test and see if it works as it should.
I'm going to just solder in a new one properly, and hope for the best.
