wow, how did you damage both leds? flood the LED with solder to remove. dont be afraid to bridge the connections. Below is a video, but I use more solder, the trick is to heat both led pads at the same times and it will "float" right off the pads, then a quick swipe across the led pads will clean any excess solder off the pads."TUTORIAL" Lammas Video Led floataion
I used to use a big blob of solder to remove them, and I loved that method, but I just got a new soldering iron with a fine tip and it's very hot. Solder doesn't stick directly to it very well, and I found that melting both sides of the LED by switching off between them rapidly removed the LEDs very easily and quickly.I've never had this happen before until this new soldering iron. This method tends to leave very little solder on the contacts, so I add more to them after the LED is removed.I've repeated this on another controller, and none of the contacts were damaged.
btw, what i do when i have a messed up trace is use the trace repair pen from radioshack. just scrap the trace and draw over it.
I use 30 awg wire to repair the trace , connect to the led scrap the solid point of the trace where it ends and connect the wire to that. reason i made that pic of RDC it was so people could see and i tried to reverse the Rol so it would go backwards wiring the diffent led to a different trace hard to explain i guess, which it changed the Rol the way it goes in a circle not in reverse...
the player one trace in the photo is not corrrect.The via you show for player 2 isactually player one. player 2 is just below where you show it (under the player one led) can someone updated the pic please?
