Trying to repair my Arena, which most of the time fails to boot. I saw the youtube video on "bulletproofing" this game (really system 80b in general), plus have read a bit about it on Pinwiki. It really sounds like my first job is to desolder/resolder the daughter card on the main board. Both sources suggest that this isn't a job for a novice.

I guess I'm just wondering how hard is it really? Can anyone describe what it is about it that makes it difficult/delicate? I have a little experience with soldering, but I'm not a pro. I'd hate to damage the main board, but the DIYer in me resists sending the board off for repair if it's something I could do myself...
