Hello Z168. Glad to hear it worked. The soldering needs to be cleaned up and flowed properly though, or you may find it will fail soon again. Sometimes scraping the existing copper traces helps the new solder to flow easier. I see the center pins have almost no solder on them. Make sure the pads are cleaned and flow solder to them. Liquid Rosin Flux really helps this process. These units get so hot, any soldering errors will quickly show in premature failure.

I didn't seal my unit back up. I just left it open. This is up to you to decide.

Good Luck!
