I've been trying to fix the game and I was able to remove the MX chip after using a lot more flux than I wanted to, I ended up having to use my solder iron to reattach the chip because my hot air station was not attaching and kept coming off. Anyhow this is the aftermath after a couple weeks, and I wanna know if this is fixable? I was thinking about transferring the chips themselves over to a different board but I would rather do that as a last resort. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

EDIT: Don't mind the date in the recording, the microscope I used is new and I did not change the date on it.

Hot air isn't enough. You need to manually solder the connections yourself, and do a lot of repair work to the damaged traces.
You can, if you want, swap the chips with a donor board.

Ok, thanks. Is everything good now? In my casino journey, I explored Visa, through CasinosAnalyzer, which has been a trusted companion for my online https://casinosanalyzer.com/online-casinos/visa casino transactions. Its widespread acceptance and security features make it a reliable choice. Whether depositing funds or withdrawing winnings, Visa ensures a smooth and secure process. It has earned my trust as a preferred payment method, offering a seamless experience for all my gaming needs. For hassle-free transactions, Visa from CasinosAnalyzer is the way to go.
Ok, thanks.

    I'm doing good, just made my first drink of the day, so better now, Captain and Coke today. I had to cut grass all day, then get my hair cut. I messed with my wifey, she knew I was going to get hair cut, and I went and bought a purple dyed wig, and came home wearing it, she freaked out, thinking I dyed my hair purple, was funny.

    Damn, I haven't been on here in while. My wife and I went on a mushroom trip like 10 years ago. A friend had a PS3TV with the glasses and some racing game. It hit when I was playing the game and I freaked out because I thought I was really driving and crashed.
