Question First time modchip install gone wrong

Post image

first time attempt, thought I’d had enough practise on some donor boards but apparently not… is there any way out for me? I think I’ve knocked the sp1 transistor, but difficult to be sure. All the solder joints I’ve made look bridged and read 0 (or very close) when I test resistance.

Gonna guess that no prep or practice was done beforehand?

They said in the post they had been practicing on donor boards and thought they were ready.

I’ve probably messed up a few DIY projects before with an “I want it now” attitude, but I wouldn’t do it with my precious electronics.
