No, this was once I cut the plastic panel away to try to get to those two wires that need to be resoldered. There's a pic in one of the responses. I used a dremel (someone said use a box cutter...utterly impossible, IMO). There's a gel that someone else wrote "protects" the circuit board. It does not. It keeps hair-like wires in place.

Anyway, while cutting the plastic covering to get to the circuit board, I must have cut into these wires (multiple magnifying glasses are needed to see them). They are soldered via laser.
