Comment on [Help] My Ender 3 isn't powering the extruder motor. Do I need a new motherboard?
ExcessShiv@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month agowe can skip past the fantasy that you could replace a surface mount stepper driver yourself.
The MBs on these cheap printers are usually so cheap it isn’t worth the hassle, even if you have the skills and tools.

I only brought it up because they brought up the soldering iron in their post. I could probably replace one of those surface mount drivers, but I also wouldn’t. Not when you can buy a whole board for $20usd.
