Is the plan feasible? If not, anybody have a better plan (besides the obvious: buy a new one)? I'm a chip engineer and have lots of debug experience, but don't have the equipment to desolder/resolder a large pin-count device. Thanks in advance!
welcome to the forums! as has been said, try customer service, they are amazingly helpful! I had a kitten that teethed on my kindle, hence the moniker
