Re: [Gumstix-users] Broken power connector

[David F. <dav...@ya...>]

I think you are making this too complicated. The
two large tabs are both ground, the small tab
(labelled 3) is power.  My waysmall board does
not have the traces and plated holes you point
out.  They are probably unrelated (rs232?)
signals
so dont short them to any power stuff.
