If you have the same one I did, Ed is right about the fasteners being screws. The board was green with a large area under the 5680 plated as (I presume) a heat sink. In case you have the same kind I did, I'll post part of the discussion, below, which includes the pin-out I figured out. If I re

Dan, Yes, you are right. There are so many variants of the FE-56xx devices that I'm sure even FEI don't have a clue which is which! The FE-5680 family are invariably single supply, although the connectors vary. Pull the lid off and with an Ohm-meter trace the input to the regulators back to the DB
