And then a while later, I did it again, with slightly finer pitch this time I think, on a Hannah Montana video game board that Elly picked up for cheap, which we wanted to reverse engineer:
But, man... I think this one takes the cake. I had to replace two resistors that you see in the top of the following image:
Now, how small are those? Well, don't sneeze. They're the little specks below the writing.
It took me just under five hours to do it twice. Lots of fun, but certainly frustrating...
