Nordic Thingy:91X – Capacitors Interfering With JST Battery Connector?
Hi, I bought a Nordic Thingy:91X from Mouser a few months ago and just started using it today. I was having trouble getting the device to power up consistently, so I opened it for inspection. I noticed that a few of the capacitors near the battery connector were loose or falling off.
At first, I assumed I must have damaged them somehow. But looking closer, it seems like the capacitors sit directly in the path of the JST battery plug. When I insert the included JST battery connector, it visibly hits the capacitors.
The battery pack is the one that came with the Thingy:91X, so I’m not sure whether this is a manufacturing defect, a revision issue, or if I’m doing something wrong. Has anyone else seen this? Is this a known issue?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
