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)
Ahh, things are starting to make more sense now hahahaha, I didn’t think we were supposed to heat the board, I always tried to heat the tin directly above the pads and let it flow down. Also, I don’t think the iron has adjustable temperature, I literally bought the cheapest one on the store (bad call on my end)
