I have a cheap headband binocular magnifier I picked up used at a fleamarket for a couple of bucks - really handy to have !? But I suspect the "no lead" solder I used, can't find the good stuff around here anymore and if you get this stuff too hot it turns black making me suspect a bad solder joint !

I did need a magnifier for those tiny pads.
Those are the smallest points I have ever soldered to.
I hope the troubleshooting goes well.
