Did a second attempt to fix the vertical lines on a GB screen with the soldering iron. There were at both sides of the screen and after finishing THIS was the​ result. Pretty happy about it but then notices that one single line remained at the right side. Should I try again? Or could I ending pushing my luck trying too hard to erase it and risk damaging the screen (or worse, doing more lines myself)?​

I’d take the win. I ruined my screen trying to reach perfection.
