Tinkerboy v3 damaged USB trace
Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2018 9:16 pm
Help me Sudomod forums, you're my only hope. I've really gone and done it now.
I'm working on what I've been calling a Gameboy 3: a Gameboy Zero except using a RPi 3b+. I also orderd the tinkerboy 3.0.1 for controls and audio. Everything was going swimmingly until I was replacing a wire on the D+ pad. I heated up the solder and tugged on the wire, and the whole trace pulled up from the board. Here is a picture of the damage: https://imgur.com/sNN6LOr
It now appears I have removed my only method of wiring to the board, unless someone here knows something I don't. My first thought is to somehow use the other USB pins, though that's problematic since they are used for providing additional USB ports and not for connecting to the Pi. Is it possible to use these pins instead? Or is there some other method? Please help me not to have just wasted $50 and four weeks of lead time getting it shipped here from the Phillipines.
