About this video

A torn funnyplaying GBA IPS kit ribbon has two repair routes, scraping back the solder mask to reach the traces or soldering onto the components instead.

Good to know: Soldering means burns and fumes; old solder contains lead. Fine work, and a microscope is mentioned. Part 1 of 2.
