I smoked a shoulder over the weekend and sadly wasn't able to use my heatermeter via my phone (my lcd display on the heatermeter died long ago so thats the only way I can control it). I ended up taking it apart to see what was going on and came across my raspberry pi looking worse for the wear.
When I removed the SD card, the middle metal tong in the reader came with it. So looks like my pi died...
So, question is, should I find a replacement pi? Or should I just move on? I'm currently on a v4.2.4 board. With my on board display dead, i'm leaning to just starting over. I could stick with the 4.2 build and keep my case and just find a compatible pi, or I could start all over with the 4.3. Thoughts?
Next question is any idea what could have caused this?
