burning of something is a chemical process which is undoable. Burned parts will need be replaced.

Just canīt follow the burned board line and jump it with a wire or something

I did the thing with wires, but it was because I did a bad unsoldure and cut printed circuit. Still rocking this ECU without problem.

If you see where it is burned, just jump it with a wire like you said. If a component is burned, change it...

Knowing what cause it to burn can help to avoid future ECU problem too...

----. i was hoping they weren't.

I've followed the broken line and used a wire to fix it before.

I'm no soldering pro but if you're burning ---- you're most likely not using enough heat. You shouldnt need more than a second or two or three to do a single solder/desolder.

I won't cover that. Compare to a known good ECU, jumper wire.
