Hi guys, I'm repairing a FLIR EX320 that I broke by messing with its batteries
The symptom is that the camera freezes while booting: some data on the RS232 shows that the motherboard isn't identified (it says MACT 00 instead of MACT 04) and after loading the app piece just sits without showing anything on the screen.
While trying to gather some information on what could be broken, I've encountered the components shown in the pictures.
All of them *seemed* to be capacitors with two extra legs on the sides to help mechanically. All of them were shorted which seems very weird already as they're from different circuits (they're not connected to each other).
Strangely enough, some of them were on the I/O lines (RS232 RX and USB+) and those work fine... how could that be?
I've desolder them hoping to eliminate the shorts (that happened) but now the camera doesn't even "talk" on the RS232.
Here are my questions:
* Can you confirm that these are indeed capacitors? (ignore the one that appears white, that's the flash reflection: they're all brown)
* Do you have any thoughts on where to go from here?
Thank you!
