just received my first arduino. it's an uno. i'm noticing issues with 2 of the factory installed headers and wonder if these qualify for a replacement board (pictures attached):
(1) the 6 pin ANALOG IN header was not positioned properly before soldering. pin A0 was not fully inserted prior to soldering and has approx 1.4 mm exposed above the board, leaving the header installed with a longitudinal slope of approx 6* from pin A5 to pin A0 as shown here:
(2) 7 pin DIGITAL header has a latitudinal slant as shown here:
while the electrical connections are probably functional, i am concerned of damage to pins when interfaced with the data logging shield i purchased at the same time (or any other shield for that matter). i have a project deadline and this situation is an unexpected complication. please advise asap.
