RPL1116 (MSO1000Z) and PLA2216 (MSO5000) Active Logic Probe teardown

Well, caps on the bottom get held on with the surface tension of the solder during reflow of the top side, so there's really no reason for glue.
... unless you have very heavy components on the bottom that is.

I was noticed you ordering PCB from szjlc.com and soldering it by yourself.
Szjlc provide SMT service for one side parts in chinese. Not for every single part of course, but resistors and capacitors are supported.
I'm not sure if the service is available for you.
dren.dk:
Yeah, I assumed that they would have that service, though I admit I didn't look into it as I assumed that the startup cost would be too high for a single prototype.
I just looked around for it, but I could not find any information on how to submit such an order from the international site, so I think the assembly service is still Chinese-only.

Those SMT services in China are cheap, but there is a catch.
You have to choose if they use their parts or you send the parts to them.
If you send the parts, the shipping cost plus the increase of customs taxes when importing the boards will make the final price too high. So it will be cheaper to assembly by my self.
If they use their parts, the circuit quality will be extremely affected. For sure they will use the cheapest and crappest ceramic capacitors they can find. Probably they will even use counterfeit ICs.

What evidence do you have of this assumptions ?
