Stupid. Me either.

Since routing of P[7:0] is went through L3 inside pcb, so I suggest no
need to cut traces on P[7:0] or directly soldering. That's a little
kind of hard. Take apart the one on pcb first then diretly use a new
U21, "raise up" those pins P[7:0] and P[15:8] on IC body first. Then
hand soldering the new one on the pcb and use wires to solder.

Each item of them is reasonable and good for next version, I'll watch this.
Thanks,
