Broken Stamp?

Szarzynski

Hello,

I installed the PWMPAL, and I am pretty sure that I ruined my stamp in the process.· When I pulled out the stamp, I bent some pins.· Now I cant get a signal in or·out of·pins 13, 1,·or 2.· So how do I tell what is broken?· I have a multimeter.· I thought I could turn all pins to high, and then put the red probe on the top of the stamp where the pin is soldered on, and the black one on Vss.· I might be able to solder on a new pin - but I'll probably make a bad situation worse trying that...· Any suggestions?

Also, I've seen some warnings about using the pwmpal and outputs 12-15.· So I thought there might be some sort of programming or hardware issue.· But these pins dont work with simple one line·'high pin' code.

Will parallax repair these or do I have to buy a brand new one?

Thanks
