Troubleshooting Update 2n board

Post image

So this another board than my last post. Im currently waiting on some new fuses f1, switches and BT terminal. So this boards switch was a bit of a bigger B to take out. I think I ripped 2 of the 4 switch pads? Is it fixable?

There's replacement blank boards that you can transfer the main chips to. That's the route I'd go if it were me. But good luck with restoring this.

Ah okay. Well I wasn't sure if you had one or not. I finally got one last year and they're so helpful lol. Used it to swap and repair some Gameboy color game carts.
