KEF LSX Teardown and Repair

Finally got around to soldering the components. Not too proud of my soldering job, but this is my first time doing something like this on SMD level, so I guess it's alright. Fucked pads weren't helping :)

Speakers are 100% functioning again. This fixed the master LSX not wanting to do anything network related (Ethernet not linking, not broadcasting AP to setup speakers, etc). Also had to restore the firmware on the slave speaker via the app.

For future reference, these are the components I used:
