@lia Wow, this is amazing, thank you so much!
I've reached out to a few people and am making progress towards finding an open workshop where I'll be able to attempt this repair.
On a side note, where would you recommend I get the chip? I've found an ebay listing that seems somewhat sketchy but the seller top-chips has a lot of really good reviews. I couldn't find any other companies that seem to sell them non-wholesale, but I thought I'd ask.
Again thank you so much for your help, this is really incredible!!
