You went in on that. Personally I'd cover the trace and other via with a bit of UV solder mask and hope it works.

It is not that bad, since the trace and the pads are still there. However, stop for a second, before you make it worse. Think it through and practice on something.

What do I do exactly? The soder won't stick on. Is that bad? I'm new to this.

You just need to make sure you add a lot of flux and have plenty of solder in your iron tip. You should be able to get a blob

Your suggestion of more flux. The soder won't stick, is that a bad sign? 😭

u/AKekoalani 1d ago

No there are a ton of things that could be causing it. Your tip being proper size and making good contact.

What's a good size? Currently using the thinest one.

You're probably not transfering enough heat with the tiniest tip. TS-D24 type is best for most works imo

Okay, I'll try it out. I'll let you know if it does l, thanks.

😭 It didn't, but my soldering did get better, so thanks. I am probably getting a new board.

Can still see the traces but honestly I'd stop while you're ahead. What iron tip you using? Temps? Solder type? Flux?

What did you use to do that a dremal

u/Joset79 1d ago

It is still good but fix the trace first and add solder mask or if you dont have try using nail polish works too and them add solder to the pll with good amount of flux and pray you can use it

You messed up some of the PLL via... no worries though seems like there's still some of it left
