Has anyone else had trouble with one of the lugs on the DC jack fitting into the smallest hole on the PCB for the N-gen? I had to trim one solder lug on the jack to make it fit. Otherwise the ground contact inside the jack would deform from being pushed into the PCB too hard (or risk damage to the PCB if a plug was inserted into the jack prior to mounting it onto the PCB).
After the mod, it fit fine and the the N-gen works perfectly (including being powered from an external source).
