I was getting ready to flash my Hitachi drive with C4E's new firmware. For some reason the eject button woudln't work at all. I coudln't get the drive open.

I opened the drive and found something unpleasent. I don't have much experience with fixing this kind of thing, but someone tell me that it is fixable. Can anyone give me some suggestions?

I can fix that but I'm just wondering if the chip the lead was going to is bad now....but I can fix the trace.

xboxexpert,
You have any idea how to test if the chip is fried? Or is it kind of a trial/error type thing after the trace is rebuilt?

How much would you charge for this type of job? And how on earth do u get the solder to stick, flux?

Could someone post a picture of the same board I posted, without the broken trace? It's a hitachi47.
