The flux arrived early, as well as some cheap helping hands. I used wire instead of blobs and actually repaired the traces instead of the in between this time. The wires are made out of a torn up desoldering wick, and I used an insulated cable below because I accidentally ripped part of the trace off. Using flux is amazing, everything just starts sticking to where it needs to go (the wires spontaniously allign). I cleaned everything with some vodka afterwards. All buttons on the drone controller work again :) submitted by /u/Doughnut_Opposite [link] [comments]
