[QUOTE="OctuplePrecision, post: 10202207, member: 536064"] Okay, thanks for the info! I’ll give a shot and report back! [automerge]1689131082[/automerge] I didn't get a chance to test re-assemble the console yet, but I was able to attempt to add solder to the pad. I had a fresh narrow tip, iron around 375C, and used a healthy amount of flux. I couldn't get anything to bond to the pad save for the very edge; I had solder very quickly attaching to the other side of the resistor, as well as solder easily flowing to the 30 gauge wire, but there was no adhesion between the pad and the solder, at least not in any way that would offer some support. Looking back, I think the photo wasn't the best I provided; I rotated the board to allow the light to catch it at a different angle and adjusted the contrast to better express what I was seeing. The area marked by pink 1 shows the only location solder would grab to, but it's not enough to try and hold anything down; the area marked by blue 2 shows the missing pad area. I will make time tomorrow to test the console and see if it boots into the OFW. I just ran out of time trying to get a better photo to show the damage better. It feels like; at this point, the only option would be to remove that resistor and try and repair the pad. I was reluctant to put it together again, given the wires are all dangling but I'll trim them to the right length and put it back together. Given how solid the resistor feels, there’s still a lot of the pad attached, but clearly I’d have to be very careful to make sure the temperature is at just the right point, and maybe even look into using solder paste to re attach the resistor, just to minimize the amount of pressure I put on that pad. Open to any and all suggestions, and I’ll report back once I can test boot the console. [ATTACH type="full"]382894[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]

I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
