LM5170EVM-BIDIR: I received a broken EVM board

Part Number: LM5170EVM-BIDIR

 I'm embarrassed. This is because I just discovered that the EVM board I purchased a while ago was delivered damaged. I just unpacked it and found broken capactior and pcb leg on packed bag . then i saw that is broken part of pcb.I'm sure it was damaged in the delivery. PCB support and capacitor are separated on one side, and one of the remaining capacitors is about to be disconnected. What should I do?

    Hi YongSung,

    Sorry to hear about this.  From the picture, nothing serious happened to the PCB.  You should also notify the shipper about this, so they can work with the shipping company to avoid this from happening again.

    I believe loose leg is because the nylon male screw is broken.  If you can find a replacement of the male screw, either nylon or metal, you can put it back.  If you can not take the broken piece out of the leg hole, use the other end to put the new screw on.  Anyway, this leg is just to support the Board and it does not affect any electrical function of the EVM.

    Regarding the capacitor, are you able to solder it back to its pads?  If not, leave it unsoldered, and the effects on the EVM performance will be negligible.

    Good luck.
