That's great news! Thanks Jerry for letting me know. Nothing jeopardized, it was Hobby King themselves who promised a refund to all customers.

Hobby King has said nothing to me about asking customers to return boards. I can't imagine that would make any financial sense, either for them to pay to ship it back or to pay a laborer to perform fine solder work on eight components per board when the odds of making it worse would be substantial.

If you have the ability to repair your own board, more power to you. Most will not be able to. Either way the refund was deserved and I'm glad to hear they've started issuing them.
