Congrats, I will not tell how I knew that was the only damage you did!RJ
....so I've reseated the magjack and all the pins went in nice and smooth....flipped the board upside down, dropped some sweet solder into the holes, flipped things back over, powered on the etherdongle and i got a link light....then hooked up the pixel net port, connected in an LE to the active hub, fired up slights and started my chase test and the LEDs go blinky again. Now for the next hour I'm cleaning up my work bench, and getting a great night sleep. Then tomorrow i'll put together the last two DSCs and see if I can get some RGB action going. Once again folks - THANK YOU for the confidence in fixing my silly mistakes and for saving me a TON of money having to build a new board from the ground up.
