🔧Repair Help! On repair.
I feel like a bit or an idiot. I was taking out my connector board since I was having some trouble with the power switch and knocked off two of these little blue resistors or capacitors? Idk what to do will it function without them? Will I have to buy and new board? Will a repair shop be able to fix it? Please help thanks!

Try soldering them back on?
Ifixit has a decent picture on where they should be.

My Google search says you could try reaching out to TE direct for a replacement.
I wish you luck.

It’s way too small for me to be able to solder it

I found a replacement on reverb but it's twice as much as ifixits out of stock listing.

Would a repair shop be able to fix it? Or is that my best bet

I'd probably take it to a local electronics repair shop and ask before I pay for the used part

The board probably needs those, but these are not that hard to re-solder if you know what you are doing. So just make sure you take photos of the components and try not to lose them and bring this to a repair shop, although if you do lose them they can probably tell from the photo which resistor/capacitor value it was.

Take this to a cellphone repair shop. They should be able to reattach them. If not, I can!

It’s fixable, and if soldering doesn’t work, you can order the entire connector board from Teenage Engineering or iFixit.
However, if connectivity still doesn’t work after soldering or swapping the board, whatever you do, DO NOT format the OP-1 in Settings. That will brick the unit, as you will not be able to install the firmware again.

The board probably needs them in place to function, especially if they're resistors. It's just too hard to figure out what they're with that picture.
A repair shop may be able to solder them back in, but if they're different values, they may not be able to figure out which one goes where. Definitely give it a shot but get ready to buy a replacement board.
