did i destroy my remora?

Ok, so I accidently destroyed the little resistor on the board...
will it still work without it? or can i jsut bridge it?


oh, and is it safe to leave the shark board un-sinked if im running it at ~12v at ~4A

thanks

The resistor is key to making the Remora work correctly. It must be replaced. The board is not broken, but, not functional till the resistor is replaced. The resistor is a 1.5k 0402 SMT resistor.

NO Absolutely not. Drawing more than ~1/2 Amp requires some form of heatsinking on the Shark.
