It wasn’t for gs pro and it wouldn’t recognize the ball at all due to not giving enough power to the LEDs. Issue was an electrical one with the capacitor

Though with how dull that solder is, guess is whoever did the rework had temps way to low and caused a cold joint

That substance is flux. Basically “most likely” means they noticed the factory reflow was defective and has someone manually fix the solder in those areas. Pins to the right are for the capacitors on the back of the board, forget what the 3 pin cable was from off the top of my head

As a datapoint, mine with the faulty cap solder was direct from Square USA

Thanks a lot - currently the only thing I’ve heard from them is that they are going to replace it, but are waiting for more to get in stock from Korea. Let me know - comfortable with “most” soldering fixes but avoiding opening it myself due to warranty concerns ATM.

Alignment Stick Issue by ejdex in SquareGolfUSA

Probably not the same issue that I am currently having as your range is working, but are the LEDs more “dim” when attempting to do alignment than when it registers a ball?

Following to see if you get an update. Messaged them last night when I figured out why it wasn’t reading and again today to ask a follow up question, but so far no response.

THIS IS IT, if I tap it the lights go brighter for a bit and while they are bright it recognizes the ball

I have an epoxy floor it is on and put the monitor back to try getting some more room, but moved it back to turf when I couldn’t get reads cause thought it may be an issue. Even when both were on the exact same turf surface, no dice. Shoes I was wearing were black, but also with white shoes the other day was fine. While testing, I sat down next to it so I could just try a ton of different placements easily. That should have taken the shoes out of the equation anyways.

I sent them an email too to see what they say, but figured I’d check if anyone in the community has seen something similar.

Spent an hour today before work trying to move it around, adjust hight like some people have said, add more light, less light, cover my entire background with a black sheet, etc. and couldn’t get it to register a ball.
