X-ecuter 2.3. Faulty or not?

[dc42]

I know this is frustrating...I was for me big time the first time I did it. After that it got easy. Your post just sounded smart but was probably the frustration comming out.

I know with the 2.3+ the pins are more pointed that the 2.2+ to help with the contact. The problem is that it makes it easier to scratch up the board.

If you have a magnifying glass make sure you didn't scratch a trace on the board. I scratched mine a time or two trying to get it lined up and it didn't do any damage.
