Having board trouble? Need to replace some components?

- To remove the old ones, use as much heat as possible. You want that solder to just drip off. The old traces leading to your bad components probably went bad too so you'll want to get rid of those. Don't worry about the black color on the board, that's original: they painted the boards green at the factory but you can skip that step cuz it doesn't need to be pretty, it just needs to work.

- When soldering new chips in place feel free to connect the dots and leave excess solder in place. This gives the electricity lots of additional pathways, so the data can flow where it needs to more freely and efficiently. Those f*cks at Bally Williams and Gottlieb were penny-pinching bastards who didn't want to spend the money on extra solder.

- If after all this it still doesn't work, tack on some extra wires and just send it off to a professional. They love puzzles and teaching newbies their wizarding ways, and might fix your hacked board for free in thanks for the challenge and extra wires you provided for their use.
