Hi all. Long time listener first time caller. I need some help with wiring for the lower LCD Backlight on my original 3DS XL. I was installing a new ZIF connector and totally borked the solder pads for the 4-leg ZIF connector. Now I need some help to see where those wires are supposed to go so I can wire around the plug. To be clear, I would like to know where the wires go and not to just scrape some of the paint away above/below the connector. The whole area is rough, Thanks in advance.

It's not paint covering traces on a board

#

And this is way more advanced of a hardware tweak than likely anyone here could cover

You're in NH, ask in the hardware channel there

I know it isn't paint, it was just the only word I could think of atm

#

I don't see a hardware channel, either
