I've swapped out soic op-amps on several X-Fi's in the past without incident, but on this particular card I wasn't careful and rushed, popping off 6-8 solder pads (top two op-amp mounts, bottom two are fine). Can anyone help me fix this card, or point me to someone who could (I'm in Carlsbad, CA)? I've phoned several local tv and appliance repair shops, and none of them will touch it.

I'll give whoever fixes the card a Xenos 0HA-REP amp, or money if preferred (I can do cash, paypal, and USPS money orders).

mods: I have a similar post in the trade forums, if this breaks rules, sorry and please remove this thread.

Close up of the section in question (I tried using a circuit writer pen, but it was too old to hold up well when I soldered the op-amps on. Comes right off with acetone/nail polish remover) Original 4mb closeup picture here.
