Congrats! Cool feeling when it works, isn't it? My first board repair was a Stern Memory Lane that battery acid had wiped out darn near a quarter of the driver board. Nothing like trial by fire! If you make a habit of board work, I'd suggest investing in a nice temp control solder station. I know a lot of people recommend a de-solder station too, but I've honestly gotten along just fine with a bulb sucker. It's kind of fun actually...
