That was fun and only slightly went over my head

Thanks, I was worried about trying this, but if it’s my only option I’ll give it a go after I try another clean and resolder.

Thanks, I’ll try and find the trace and solder a wire and maybe some supports.

Thanks,

awesome, I was struggling to figure out where tracers went, I’ll try the light trick.

I did try using flux, I tried cleaning it with a toothbrush dipped in isopropyl alcohol, but I’ll try water and bud tomorrow.

I think I’m using decent solder, I bought it from my local electronics store. It has no discernible branding but does contain a mixture which includes flux. My soldering iron is a fairly expensive one and has treated me well, but I don’t think I take good care of the tip.

I’ll try a sand as well tomorrow. Thanks for all the advice and encouragement :D
