Reddit:Electronics

This is an old rv remote that i broke by stepping on it. I had to do something so i could watch tv. As you can see it cracked clean from the tip. At least the ir led was ok. I saw that it was only one layer. I always wanted to repair electronics so i always watch repair videos. With a big ass tweezers i scratched the mask and got to the lines. There was 6 line i had to connect. As you can see the joints are scary. Because i live in a 3rd world country and a student i had to the repair with a oxidated tip and a 40w soldering iron. No flux, just low quality fluxed solder. But the important thing is it workss. Yes its ugly bot nobody sees it and i know i did it. I gotta get me some good equipment fr. I just wanted to share my joy. Dont hold back anything say what you want.

Looks like the fuse burnt and spit out the board's protective epoxy or flux near the AC voltage terminals.
