Congratulations!
As a side-note though, you can do the hinge repair without any
soldering, either by removing the bit of black tape on the right and
moving the motherboard back and forward while lifting it carefully, or
even without removing the piece of black tape at all, just takes some
more time to figure out the right angle for lifting.
For all that don't feel like soldering this might remove a hurdle to do
the repair...
