I'm working on a new parametric design to hold micro:bit boards... You can change the number of boards, space between them, and angle they insert... they also snap into place with a nice little "click" and don't fall out.
(I don't mention my day-job related stuff here much but...)
US-based teachers and librarians can receive $500+ of our micro:bit kits for free.
Join us this summer for a free PD course with Pathfinders Summer Institute. Choose "Circuitry and Robotics with LEGO and MicroBit" by Brown Dog Gadgets.
30 hours of virtual PD & we send you all the materials: A Bit Board Rover Kit and Remote. Spots are limited so apply now. :)
I've had more than one micro:bit board button fail when the solder joint broke loose.
It also looks like only the bottom leg is connected electrically so if that one comes loose you've got no button.
(Well, you can press it *really* hard to force it to make contact.)
Easy to fix with a dab of solder for those who can solder but still a bit annoying.
Today's charity shop find is a BBC micro:bit, a kind of educational computer gadget from 2016. There was a later version in 2020.
One wire from the battery pack had been pulled out. Probably by someone who didn't read the handling instructions properly. Easily fixed and besides it can also be powered by USB.
