@mavica_again whoa. That got.... borked. Glad that wasn't a zillion layer board.
@mavica_again As a certified soldering dummy, I have to ask: how does one even repair something like that? Do you have to run a bunch or jumper wires or is it possible to somehow replace the bad traces?
Regardless, excellent work!
@SeasonsChange there are trace repairing kits but yes in my case for this particular board i just ran all broken traces back with patch wires (you can see one in the top right corner of the second picture). thankfully there weren't that many
@mavica_again that is cool as hell
@mavica_again you may want to post on https://tinkerdifferent.com/ 🙂
@mmu_man i don't immediately see a subforum for advertising and usually offering paid services in forums you don't know anyone in to vouch for you gets you banned 🙂
@mmu_man i have ptsd with moderated spaces like that because i never know anyone in the in. if you know someone personally willing to introduce me i might consider it
@mmu_man oh yes sorry i just looked at the "Forum Conduct"

yes i cannot post there. thank you for the shoutout though
@mavica_again ok. there used to be a section for shops…
