My Friends burned chip

[mrballiwhoo]

My friends burned his chip the other day, and he gave it to me. i would love to make a few bucks at his expense. He did a really bad solderin job on the pin header and i think he burned out the 5 volt trace. then did a even worse job trying to fix it with that silver trace repair. Here's a pic of it. if anyone would know how to fix this, or would want to buy it pm me. i'll take differnt pics if anyone is interested

I installed, or tried to install an X3 in my friends box right, and so i get it all hooked up and everythign and when i turn it on its starts to boot but i notice that as soon as a i turned it on, a little stream of smoke strated comming off from somewhere in the area of the chip. i immeditatly turned it off before checking where it came from. i messed up on the soldering a bit, three of the pin headers touched toghter, but i didnt fix that i just left it to see if it would work, and i also taped the D0 on with electrical tape instead of soldering it down. besides that i did everythign right. any idea what the smoke could be from

God, mrbaliswhoo, what a liar you fried the chip for your friend, what a round head. LOL
