PCB: Death & Rebirth

Lots of PCBs will be defected during the manufacture/QA process. Defects were usually caused by unexpected wrong design, a wrong BOM list, bad assembled/soldered(I hate FFC connectors…), bad components(broken epaper…) or just wrong silk screen. How do we usually deal with them? You know, the wall behind Seeed receptionist is made of PCBs.

We offered a batch of defected PCBs to local community in Shenzhen recently. To our surprise, a second life was given to some of these PCBs by the attendees, who are neither engineers nor artists.
