Hey guys! I'm having a bad day here...
I was installing an HWFLY 4.1 modchip for the first time on my OLED Switch and I think I will never be able to finish it anymore.
Just to give some background, I do have some experience with micro soldering. In my work sometimes I had to solder TQFP/LQFP, TSOP ICs with dozens of pins. Why not give it a try, right? I saw a couple of videos and I felt confident enough to start the task. Right at the beginning I had a hard time getting the CLK signal point (that one that need to be scraped) soldered to the flex cable. I had to redo part of the line using a thin wire. Beside that everything else went just fine. Work done, time to test it! After turning it on the led was pulsing blue and becomes solid white after a few second.
After some reading I decided to dismantle everything and recheck all the connections. And this is where all the trouble started... In the process I can't even explain how but while handling the flex I ended up with the CLK trace lifted to the point there is no more where to solder to. Is there any alternative point or should I just end my adventures and reassemble my console?
Any help will be very appreciated!
