PS5 HDMI Repair (bad trace) with new microscope

Upgrading the workbench doesn't come without it's pitfalls! After a long time doing solder work with a pair of magnification glasses, I decided to order in my first microscope camera. I also decided to get a micro-solder iron, and getting used to these new instruments totally changed the feel of doing what I do! My conclusion is that it is a positive upgrade, but boy did it mess me up during this repair and introduce silly problems because I didn't feel on my game yet with the new stuff. The cuts in the video were for length (this ended up taking about 3 hours), and I left all the frustrating parts of not feeling at one with the tools yet.
