Still no success getting that lead in.

Still no success getting that lead in.

Part of the problem might be that it needs to be placed at a certain angle (like the grey cable which is attach at a 45°), and I can't get that angle easily because the cable is too short. Or not. I've been working from mostly ignorance from the start with this, which crumbs leading the way. What I could have done is take a photo of the board before I removed anything. Too late for that.

This seems to be related to WiFi and Bluetooth and may be an aerial. Maybe I could get away without WiFi? Or - but I despair of this. My fingers ache with the early stages of rheumatoid arthritis, and every time I lean close enough to see clearly, my bifocals fall loose, or I block the light.. An even when it seems I've the lead in the correct position, it refuses to clip on to the point.

I feel so close to either giving up entirely or a panic attack. I DO want to finish this and restore things. The simple repair was been a nightmare from start to, well now. Even if I can't restore the NUC, I might be able to recover the grid from the SSD chip, provided I have a reader for that. But that's not something I want to think about yet. Maybe I could pay someone to restore it??? 😟 😞😖

I'll take a break so that my fingers aren't hurting and try again.
