While I applaud your willingness to learn a new thing and genuinely help people at a reasonable cost - I feel like it wont be long before you realize why PCB repair is a dead art on a small shop level.

Bingo. One of the problems you'll run into is that you might find a bad component but you might not be finding the root cause of the component failure. Replacing the whole board insures all components are fixed. Your customer isn't going to appreciate savings if they have to keep calling you back.
If you know for certain the root cause, then component replacement makes sense.
I love to fix my own stuff but hate messing with other people's stuff.
Someone showed you a resoldering gun. Another cheaper and more portable option is the Hakko Fr-300
I'm afraid you are going to go down the path of no good deed goes unpunished here.

yeah, especially since the resitor popped right when it went back on the board.
After further testing. I am lost.
I wasted like 3 hours of research and work and finding the resistor in a random box in my shop. Three hours of work labor going there and back.
Would have been cheaper for me to just buy her the board.
She wasn't too upset, it was obvious I tried.
