Pulled up trace a trying to fix corrosion

[hastings298]

Any alternative places to solder? Accidentally lifted the wire under trace A while following the guide

It looks like the wire you are using is to thick and that will put a lot of strain in the PCB trace.

The ideal wire for this repair is 30awg (wire-wrapping wire)

If you link the 2 arrows on the top of the main PCB that should fix it

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Worked first time, thank you.

That's good news 

What is the red wire for and that board needs a good scrub with a tooth brush and isopropanol

It was a bad initial attempt at a TSOP lol... Removed it, used 30 AWG wire instead of 24, and connected the alternate points on the rear of the board. Worked beautifully, this was 15 quid "broken" off eBay and i flashed it with m8 using true hexen 21.
