What, you just Google for that??  You've clearly not tried that fix or you'd
know how hard it is to solder that thing.  Well, unless you've got really

You're seriously using that thing?  I've found it's restricted [vendor term

You should probably just switch to the more popular Whichever Platform
Prevents Argumentation Over Superiority (admittedly less popular, but
gaining ground and a true forum fanboi's dream!).
