Dead ScoutGuard & bargain Bushnell

Any plans I had for hacking the ScoutGuard came to an abrupt end recently when this happened:


Yes, I managed to not only lift the track off the PCB but also break the pin off the PIC. The camera was misbehaving quite badly before this incident anyway and I was getting close to calling it a day but this is one of those annoying mistakes that forced my hand. There is still sufficient track left to tap into, it is the minimal pin leg on the PIC that is the real issue.
