Just out of curiosity, how many hours bench charge did he pay? I don't
know how I would have handled this in my day...

I had a teenager bring in an Xbox that he was trying to install a mod
chip into. He was attempting a solder connection to a tiny donut on the
board but he accidently got the foil too hot and pulled the whole trace
off the board. I had to use a microscope to make the bridge but got it
back to original. He told me that there were 32 connections that he
would have to make in order to install the mod, so he was gonna forget
about it. He learned his lesson.
