Hardware Extensive Trace Repair on Charging Port

[CHTechRepair]

This was a really fun challenge. This port looked just fine on the outside, the device showed all signs of M92 failure. Turns out damn near every pad for the top layer of pins had been torn away including DC-IN traces. Anyway I decided to rebuild it and figured I'd share how this was achieved. A ton of tiny hair-sized wires and some hot glue later and it
even puts out display port
The images will probably be all out of order.

What microscope do you use?

This one is just a normal Amscope binocular scope off Amazon. I just use the 0.5x lens that comes with it nothing special. I also use an Eakins trinocular scope I bought from China, same deal no fancy lenses but I use a more powerful light since you lose some to the third viewport.
