- Tools: please find correct tools to cut PCB, like this one PCB cutter, you also need to solder a new wire instead
Blue mark: the wrong vias are on the trace, which cause the error Green mark: cut the trace on the right green mark first, then add fly wire like this.

How to Fix
MPC1073 RPI Matrix Drive Board, Error Overview
Error Zoom In
Apply the fix: cut off the two yellow lines, solder a fly-wire on green line
This is how it looks finally, we cut it on a different place, but works the same
- We made different version of the board based on different kinds of the footprint, because of the raising price of the chips. Otherwise we have to raise the price of this board dramatically. Thank you.
