Hi sc53, I'm so sorry it didn't work out as expected. If you could post some photos of the damage here, I (or somebody else) might be able to make a statement about recovery chances. I can still give it a try if it's worth the trouble for you. International shipping might be much easier / cheaper if it's just about the PCB and not the entire unit. Customs and security officers might have an issue with the word "Boom" though that's printed on the PCB. Not sure they understand that this is just part of an entertainment device. Anyway, I'm glad to help. So far I have seen seven or eight Boom units from the inside and it's pretty safe to say they are all more or less glued up, and the assembly line guys preferred the display pins a lot to glue down the Wi-Fi antenna cable. No good reason for it, and certainly not a good choice position-wise, they just did it without switching their brains on. The stuff they used was the same in all units, just a small variance in the amounts and exact places where it was applied. I spent several hours just removing these glue blobs where I needed to do soldering, it's a very tedious job and requires a considerable amount of time, and the PCBs are not very forgiving. No good if the clock is ticking and every minute is measured in dollars. Sorry again, I hope I can still help one way or the other.
