Do both sides of the board

You may need multiple applications to make it clean

Let it dry throughly before reassembly and test

Note that any dull solder should be resoldered. As the board is all surface mount, the right soldering iron, skills and solder are required. Clean again after any resoldering

Good luck.
Ok thanks! I have solder skills.. And a good adjustable solderiron. I will do as you say and report back tomorrow!

Thanks so far.. really exciting..
