Does anyone know where the 8 & 9th pins go, I think I’m correct? With the Realtek at North, the pads are 6 & 7th from the left, and 8 & 9th from the right. Big cap at top center.
@Calvin has been helpful in this area in the past, and not-so-secretly hoping that he can help with this too?
Hi Andromeda.
Pin 1 is in the top right corner, like the three angled marking pointing. The pin counting is counterclockwise.
Pins 5 and 6 (dp2+/dp2-) and pins 8 and 9 (dp3+/dp3-) are nc at the Switch. The four pads have no vias and there are no lines to them. The only DP lines in use are dp0+/- and dp1+/-.
Thank you for that Calvin, you are a star! We are indeed fortunate to have you map this board so well. I am lucky that those pads marked in orange(dp3) above are my missing pads and that they’re not connected. I just need to recreate pad two(not mentioned above) with transformer wire and I should be ok!
