> Raspberry pi hits manufacturing snag
>
> The British makers of the Raspberry Pi have admitted a manufacturing
> flaw has delayed shipments of the sold-out, cheap as chips computer.
> The first run of 11,000 Raspberry pi's sold out soon after going on
> sale. The group behind the low-cost computer said it has known about
> the flaw in the first batch of devices for four days.
> Writing in her bog, spokeswoman Liz Upton said that it is inevitable
> that you are "freewheeling along perfectly happily and then you get a
> puncture."
> The delay is the result of the factory using non-magnetic jacks
> instead of parts with integrated magnetics.
> This causes problems because a lack of magnets means no network
> connection. The two pieces look so alike they need to be dismantled or
> have an x-ray taken to tell them apart.
> Apparently the problem is minor, and the factory has almost finished
> replacing the jacks. It means that the first boards should still go
> out to customers as planned but subsequent shipments may be slightly
> delayed as the team now has to source more magnetic jacks.
> The outfit said it was sorry and will keep everyone updated with how
> manufacture is moving. Upton said that it was a minor problem, but
> it's still a bump in the road.
