was missing so you have to jumper it out so it uses the correct BAUD rate.

The jumper is indeed missing. If someone wants to install one, they will need a
very low profile switch. I got what I thought was pretty low profile, but it
was just slightly too tall. But I didn't care much that I couldn't put the
switch cover back on so I left it that way.

It's annoying how tiny the actuator is, but I couldn't find any that
were short enough yet had big actuators l
Right there are no dip switches but there are jumpers inside a panel on the
bottom. Only one jumper was soldered shut so I desoldered it (based on "all
open dip switches" as the normal operating mods). No change.
I unfortunately don't have a Linux machine for testing with pdd.sh, yet.

I recapped my two M100s.
The first one required some flux-cleaning and then worked fine. So I put it on
its shelf, and recapped the second one.
After, the second one was completely dead; no battery light, no sign of life
whatsoever.
I took it apart again and thoroughly cleaned it with alcohol be
One simple thing is just the memory battery needs to charge before the
machine works. If it's been turned off a long time, then the memory
battery needs to charge up for a few hours first. Or at least say 30
minutes though that may not be enough. It charges any time it's plugged
in to the wall
I decided against recapping my m100 myself.

Sadly, most M100s I've dealt with have had damage from leaking capacitors
and that damage needs to be cleaned and repaired before installing new
capacitors. The boards are also usually caked in factory flux residue and
that flux is now conductive enough to cause malfunctions in the system.
