A few years ago I bought an iRig BlueBoard Bluetooth MIDI switch. The listing on ebay from the official IK Multimedia page said it was "open box", but it turned out to be pretty worn unit with a dead C button backlight 😳

Back in a day I was pretty bad at soldering, though I ordered a few sets of replacement LEDs from AliExpress and fixed that dead one. Despite all my attempts I still failed to find an exact color match, so today, since I had time and there was no blackout, I decided to replace the rest. I did loose two replacement LEDs before I figured a quick way to solder new ones in place, but it turned out pretty well and I guess that is the only way to learn 🙌

Successfully done my first ever of an approximately 5 years old to cable.
Just trimmed a part where the isolation went off and soldered a new connector in place 🙌

Was my first experience dealing with such small contact points, turned out pretty well 👍
