Guarantee & Return Policy

Effective Date: December 10, 2025

At OpenELAB, we are committed to providing accurate product descriptions and high-quality electronics. The following policy outlines your rights and obligations, designed to be fair to both our customers and our business operations globally.

1. Warranty Policy

A. Standard Limited Warranty (Global & US)

For customers in the United States, Asia, and other non-EU regions:

  • Warranty Period: OpenELAB provides a 12-month warranty from the date of delivery.

  • Coverage: This warranty covers defects in material and workmanship under normal use.

  • Resolution: We will repair or replace defective units at no charge.

B. Statutory Rights for EU/UK Customers (EU Compliance)

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union or the UK purchasing from our global site:

  • Statutory Guarantee: You are entitled to a 24-month statutory guarantee for conformity defects present at the time of delivery, in accordance with EU consumer protection laws.

  • Relation: The Standard Limited Warranty (Section 1.A) applies in addition to, and does not replace, your statutory rights.

C. Warranty Exclusions (Applies to ALL Regions)

Warranty coverage is VOID if the damage is caused by:

  1. Misuse: Incorrect installation, reverse polarity, or exceeding voltage limits.

  2. Unauthorized Modification: This explicitly includes soldering, cutting pins, modifying the PCB, or flashing unauthorized/beta firmware that "bricks" the device.

  3. Physical Damage: Drops, moisture/water damage, or electrical surges (lightning).

  4. Normal Wear & Tear: Consumable parts (e.g., batteries), unless defective upon arrival.

Note: For non-warranty repairs (e.g., customer-induced damage), we may offer repair services for a fee. Shipping and diagnostic costs will be borne by the customer.

2. Return & Refund Policy

A. Return Window

  • Standard: You may request a return within 31 days of receiving your order.

B. Refund Conditions & Restocking Fees

To protect against policy abuse, the refund amount is strictly determined by the condition of the returned item.

1. Full Refund (100%)

  • The item is Brand New, Unopened, and Unused.

  • The original packaging is intact and sealed.

  • All accessories are present.

2. Partial Refund (Restocking Fee / Value Depreciation)
If the item is returned in a condition that prevents it from being sold as new, OpenELAB reserves the right to deduct a Restocking Fee (for US/Global) or Compensation for Loss of Value (for EU) from the refund amount.
Deductions apply if:

  • Signs of Use: Visible scratches, mounting marks on screw holes, or fingerprints.

  • Damaged Packaging: Original box is torn, written on, or missing.

  • Technical Modification: The device has been soldered, permanently installed, or flashed with unauthorized firmware.

  • Broken Seals: Anti-static bags or security seals have been opened.

Depending on the severity of the usage/damage, the deduction may range from 15% to 50% of the product price. Items damaged beyond repair due to misuse will not be refunded.

C. Shipping Costs

  • Defective / Wrong Item: OpenELAB covers the return shipping cost.

  • Customer Remorse (Changed Mind / Ordered Wrong Item): The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs to our designated return center (located in the US, Germany, or China, depending on your region). Original shipping fees are non-refundable unless required by local law.

3. Return Process (RMA)

To ensure a smooth return process, please follow these steps:

  1. Authorization: Contact us at info@openelab.io before returning any item. Returns without prior authorization will not be accepted.

  2. RMA Number: We will provide you with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and the correct return address.

  3. Packing: Ship the item back in its original packaging with the RMA number clearly marked on the shipping label (not on the product box).

  4. Tracking: We strongly recommend using a trackable shipping method. OpenELAB is not responsible for returns lost in transit.

SMD Components Soldering Practice Board DIY Kit with battery pack

SMD Components Soldering Practice Board DIY Kit with battery pack

6,50 €

Kit Name: SMD Component Soldering Practice Board

Kit Model: SMD-P

Operating Voltage: 4.5~5V

PCB Thickness: 1.6mm

Dimensions: 91.4*60mm

The SMD-P Soldering Practice Board is divided into two sections: Practice Zone and Practical Zone.

  

Practice Zone:

The area outside the large circle is the practice zone. Beginners start here to practice soldering. Components can be removed and re-soldered multiple times for further practice. This section includes nine types of components as listed below:

Front-side Components:

  • 0805 Resistors ×10
  • 0603 Resistors ×14
  • 0402 Resistors ×12
  • 0805 Capacitors ×10
  • 0603 Capacitors ×14
  • 1206 Diodes ×6
  • SOT-23 Transistors ×6
  • 0603 Resistor Networks ×6

Back-side Components:

  • SO-8 IC ×1
  • SO-16 IC ×1
  • QFP44 IC ×2

 

Practical Zone:

The area inside the large circle serves as the practical zone for testing the soldering results. Once the components are correctly soldered, the board powers on and functions as a lucky wheel. Each LED corresponds to a different animal, adding an element of fun to the project. This section includes six types of components as listed below:

  • 0805 Resistors ×3
  • 0805 Capacitors ×2
  • 0805 LEDs ×10
  • 3216 Capacitors ×2
  • SOT-23 Transistor ×1
  • SO-8 IC ×1
  • SO-16 IC ×1
  • 6×6×4.5 SMD Switch ×1

 

Part I: Soldering and Testing in the Practice Zone

  1. Solder 10 × 0805 Resistors.
    Use a multimeter in ohmmeter mode to measure the resistance between J and J1 to verify the soldering.
  2. Solder 14 × 0603 Resistors.
    Measure the resistance between I and I1 to confirm proper soldering.
  3. Solder 12 × 0402 Resistors.
    Check the resistance between H and H1.
  4. Solder 10 × 0805 Capacitors.
    Use the capacitance mode on a multimeter to test the capacitance between D and D1. If the multimeter lacks capacitance mode, use the ohmmeter mode to ensure the resistance between adjacent pads is zero.
  5. Solder 14 × 0603 Capacitors.
    Measure the capacitance between F and F1 (or use ohmmeter mode if needed).
  6. Solder 6 × 1206 Diodes (pay attention to polarity).
    Measure the forward voltage drop using the diode mode of the multimeter.
  7. Solder 6 × SOT-23 Transistors.
    Use an ohmmeter to measure the resistance from point C to each collector, point E to each emitter, and point B to each base.
  8. Solder 6 × 0603 Resistor Networks:
    • Solder one side of each network, then apply solder to both sides.
    • Use an iron to heat the soldered pins and remove excess solder.
  9. Verify the Resistor Networks:
    • Measure the resistance between K-K1, L-L1, M-M1, and N-N1. The value should match the expected 60K resistance.
    • Also, measure K-L, L-M, and M-N; these readings should be infinite. If not, there may be a solder bridge between the pins.

Back-Side IC Soldering:

  1. Solder the SO-8 and SO-16 ICs (pay attention to orientation).
    Measure the resistance between each IC pin and the test points to confirm soldering.
  2. Solder 2 × QFP44 ICs (ensure correct orientation).
    Similarly, the resistance between adjacent test points is measured to check for solder bridges.

After successfully completing the practice zone soldering, your SMD soldering skills should have improved significantly. Now, let's move on to the practical zone for real circuit soldering to test your skills.

 

Part II: Soldering in the Practical Zone

  1. Solder 1 × 0805 Resistor with 470K resistance (marked 474).
  2. Solder 2 × 0805 Resistors with 1.2K resistance (marked 122).
  3. Solder 1 × 0805 Capacitor with 10nF (marked 103).
  4. Solder 1 × 0805 Capacitor with 100nF (marked 104).
  5. Solder 1 × SOT-23 Transistor (observe polarity).
  6. Solder 1 × SO-8 IC (with proper orientation).
  7. Solder 1 × SO-16 IC (with correct orientation).
  8. Solder 2 × 0805 Capacitors (non-polarized).
  9. Solder 10 × 0805 LEDs (pay attention to direction).
  10. Solder 1 × SMD Switch.
  11. Solder the Battery Holder Wires (observe polarity).

With the completion of the practical zone soldering, your board is ready for testing. The lucky wheel function will help you verify your soldering results and make the learning process more engaging.
