Would be interesting to compare the MB on an RT-AX82U as it must be simular in both shape and size to the DSL-AX82U ?

Good point, also DSL-AX82U is newer than RT-AX82U, so maybe have learn’t form the RT-AX82U design

January 30, 2022 at 9:56 am #17480Absolutely, lots of PCB boards do suffer from cold soldering mechanical failure/cracking, for me, the DC jack plug goes in and then falls out, as part of the socket plate (pin 3) that presses against the jack plug has mechanical failed (weak) which is a real pain.
