A Failed Repair of a Broken Astrolux VC04! 😢 @antonycartwright

I really needed to replace a chip, also a trace/track was broken.

I tried to repair it by grinding the surface off the top of the case of the chip, and by soldering a link wire to the inside of the chip to a point on the PCB. It failed though and I've been crying all night!
