Here's the pic of the solder lead side of the board. although at a some may look ok, but if you look at it from the side or under a loupe, then you will see many of the solder "blobs" don't even flow onto the board. and there are quite a few leads with no solder at all, as well quite a bit of solder splash that was shorting out some leads. I'm going to contact support and see what can be done. I will be super miffed if I have to buy a new board kit.

Well I went through and reworked all the solder joints on the board and it did improve the movement of the motors, but it didn't change the issue. upon further research into other G2s pro user groups, this is actually seems to be a common issue with bad GT2560 boards. They will replace the boards, load the same firmware load they had on the previous and will have no issues. the motor chatter is the give away from the other groups. And I've been able to identify I have been shipped a faulty board from what it appears like. hopefully I can get another quickly.

My seller is no longer available to be contacted. But also my seller isn't the one who manufacturered the board and put his name on it. I have found other avenues if I cannot get a response from geeetech. One that I hope I don't have to use.

Unfortunately it looks like Geeetech has gone silent on this one. I've not gotten one response since I've mentioned to tech support about finding a faulty board. I've been able to order a replacement off of amazon, but this is ridiculous. I also ordered new driver boards (with heat sinks) and shall see how that goes. The new board isn't slated to arrive for another week, so will need to hold tight until then to see how things go.

Cheers till then
