you may want to try soldering the broken pin back into place.

you may have caused more damage though, and the machine may never function again.

I have replaced the transistor with a new one, soldered the legs in place but the machine never worked.

I am afraid that the etchings were pulled away from the PCB when the transistor legs were broken.

What do you suggest my friend.

Don't tell me I have to replace the PCB because I don't wanna pay 1000 Euros for it
