My Tablet is Repaired - Thoughts and a guide.
Added 2021-04-09 13:24:14 +0000 UTC(Info for SE: Wacom Intuos Pro Medium PTH650 Broken USB fix by Soldering Directly to the Board)
After a LOT of failed attempts and truthfully a ton of damage to the poor board - I have finally successfully repaired my tablet.
In the end- the fix was exceedingly simple but I lacked any and all knowledge of circuit boards and how to solder. I wish I could have gone back in time and tried again on the fresh board
I've made a video detailing my experience fixing the board in the hopes that future artists without experience like me have an easier time.
I want to thank everyone who has bought commissions from me in the hopes of raising the funds to replace this tablet. Truthfully if the job was done properly I expect it would last a very long time but because of my sloppy work I do believe a replacement is still in order in the near future.
In the spirit of fairness I have set that money aside specifically to only be used in replacing this tablet.

. Wish I knew what you were attempting. I could have helped you with soldering knowledge & possible supplies. I’ve have done micro repairs before & it’s a tough thing to learn on one’s own. But, you’ve done good for a first time.
