Question(s)-
I accidentally soldered a ferrite bead in place of the crystal and didn't discover my mistake until testing the audio (didn't work - duh) and continuing with the next 4 caps (c19,20,21,7). So I'm wondering what I may have fried in the process and whether or not it's safe to attempt another audio test with these caps soldered in.
Also the removed ferrite bead now spins on it's connector - should it still work ok?
Thanks for the help!

Re: accidental component swap
No sweat - I finished assembly and the hardware and software work great! Way to go on getting this package altogether.
