all cold joints aside, the vintage microcontroller looking thing on the left looks like it has a missing solder joint
Care to elaborate, for those not as experienced as soldering? This isn’t the most relatable post without some additional context.
For instance, my only experience soldering is with audio equipment (think wires and potentiometers), never with PCBs and I have no clue what you mean.
This is a circuit board from my slow cooker. It quit heating a week ago so I opened it up and found a broken wire. That was easily fixed.
I figured while I had it apart I should look at the display board and see if I can fix the missing segments. I resoldered the one pin but nothing changed.
Unfortunately my eyes arent what they used to be so the others someone pointed out will be a challenge.
5th pin down on the far left side in the picture.
There’s no solder on the pin.
Most of the joints are questionable, that one is flat out bad.
I feel like I still missed a few. Why was this board disrespected so badly? Is it a student learning board?
