Hi there fellow people,

I was building an Aurora Sofle_v2 and I may have screwed things up. I melted one of the RGBs with the soldering iron and in the process of trying to remove it the solder pad was removed as well

After that I tried to “fix” it a handful of times, and now I believe that the connectors might be gone =(

Is there a way for me to salvage this RGB? (Or perhaps to link the previous one with the following one on the chain, so at least it works for the others)

I was thinking of connecting things using cables, is this an option?

Update: Bodge wiring worked! I got some spare cable pieces I had laying around and soldered it to the board The back doesn’t look pretty, but at least it’s lighting up (except the last RGB where I accidentally soldered two pins together, after this I’m not going through the troubles to fix it)

    If you can follow the removed pad up and expose the trace, you can solder a fine wire to it. 30AWG wrapping wire works well for that
