Ok, thanks. Not so good news 🙁
But I won’t touch the ICs now 🙂
I did take care not to hurt the uC with any sort of static charge during assembly, regularly touched “earth”, and only put it in once everything else was done. But hey, Sh!t happens I suppose 🙁
How much would a new uC be? And could it be ordered from France, or only from the US?
Will have to check if a friend happens to have a PC handy.
I’ll contact you via mail in the next few days. Thanks for your help!
