    My preferred method is to use a scalpel to just get in under the components heat the joint and just lift the end either by twisting the blade or using it like a seesaw with another component. Little bit more controlled. Nice video by the way.

    Just followed your instructions repairing my wife's car remote ('08 Yaris) and it went pretty well! Thanks for the content

    Next Aliexpress purchase, tweezers!
    Get yourself to Poundland when they open again, they have a multi pack which has a set of forceps in the pack, very useful 👍

    What kind of repair person would you take to fix something like this?

    I had to do this, this week, but my terrible soldering iron meant I over did and pull up the copper pads.... so resorting to using a dab of super glue is hold the switch in place, and using conductive paint.... here's hoping

      You'd be better using 'bodge' wires.
