Anyone one received raspberry pi rev B 512MB  Made in China and how about its Production Quality?

zidane1980

I received raspberry pi rev B 512MB Made in China last week,unlike the neat board made in the UK and I feel quite disappoint about it,

this is mine

and below is how it looks

the pcb was remarked as Made In China

image

 

And this! the p5 pin holes was filled with solder, which will make me a lot of trouble soldering pins

image

 

And so as the jtag pins...

Look this,a big tin ball on pin...I cannot imagine how they made it...

the same solder work on the usb ports

Just some complain,  I will not be pleasure to receive such a junk.

  • seems to be a heep more solder on the china ones compaired to the UK version, just finished soldering my Pi Cobbler(first ever solder project) and i too have blobs on pins image but i will say when my RPI arrived it made a huge differance to actually see something that was made in the UK rather than from china,

     

    long and the short of it, so glad my RPI is British image and i'm crap at soldering image

     

     

    EDIT: i notice that your "made in china) is a sticker, have you tried removing the "Sticker" to see what it says under it? image
