I don’t care what’s it gonna take. I just want a connection. I guess I can connect the VCC to another voltage source, but I have the same thing happened to TX on another circuit board, although that one can “flip” (it is still attached marginally… at one end).
Board: T Deck Lilygo.
so if I understand correctly, I can either use a pin to solder a bodge wire onto, or solder a bodge wire directly onto the ESP? Hmm then I rather opt for the ESP since this has a larger area to solder onto than the pin.
Yes, bodge wire from the leg of the IC with the busted VCC pad to the 3V leg of the ESP as laid out in the document.
