Playdate.rsFinally I get to know what exactly with my first #playdate! As I mentioned long time ago it is one of the first dev-kits. Anyway, there is a trouble with display wire, as I supposed.
You could see there scratches and “line breaks” on its. And yes, this is the end of the display wire. Trying to repair now...
One road (line) there is less than 0.06mm width. 🫣
This is not the end. Another break in the display wire. In the display. Under the glass. Almost impossible, but my friend can do anything.
Also there’s a little shield fix to ensure that it doesn’t touches and disturbs the fixed wire. 🫣

Hey guys, I suppose this could be interesting for you. That is unit 235. He was very sick and now after the surgery he will live a long and full life!
☝🏻there’s thread.
Dave Hayden 🏊@playdaters That's insane! What tools were used here? Surely that's not hand soldered..? 😳
@playdaters I had some soldering to do this weekend and tried out a microscope setup, was much better than hunching over a board with goggles on. Thanks for the inspiration!
@dave quoting of my pal:
> Well, in general Dave are partially right, we had a microscope and a soldering station (in a soldering iron) with a thin stinger, plus all sorts of magic, skillful use of flux, copper braid.
> And a lot of time and concentration. Well, and years of practice under my belt.

> The people at the service where they fix laptops marveled at my soldering too.
