I got some better quality IC sockets and I ordered a proper Hakko desoldering gun--It's my birthday month, I've decided to spoil myself a bit! 😏--which'll arrive Tuesday, so I'll see about getting ... |

Got sidetracked with holiday nonsense, so I haven't gotten much further with diagnostics and repairs...
