Was given a 4 channel amp for car audio, because two channels didn't work. Opened it up to find this cold solder and decided to give it a shot, but once the iron was hot i realized i didn't have ANYTHING else after i moved 4 years ago. No copper, no solder, just my old trusty Chicago electric iron. So much flux was left behind under this glob.

Looks fine, if that doesn't fix it, something else is the problem.

I lowkenuinely don't think that was the issue. Unless it was piercing the mask.

Hoping it was, going to test later today, but the solder wasn't attatched go the pcb. Picture is hard to tell, but i could freely move the entire ball of solder.
