I dropped my expresison, and at first it seemed that only the communication port was damaged. My hubby,being electronically inclined, got a new port and soldered it onto the board. Unfortunately, he broke the trace and now it does not communicate at all. To top it off, the size dial no longer works and none of the cricut resets fix this. He took the whole thing apart, made sure the little circuit board on the dial was pushed in all the way, but no luck.

Anyone out there know another fix for the size dial and where the trace from the com port goes? If we could fix the com port the size dial would not be necessary because of the design studio software.

Thanks,

Dodi
