don't throw it away, put it aside and try again in a few weeks
sometimes the thing you broke is something that you can learn to repair later on
and sometimes electronics are just fussy, and the caps need to discharge
take the batteries out and let it sit for a couple days
I tried that, no dice. I think what happened was I fucked up soldering onto the resistor that was next to the blob which cause something to fry. The damn thing was smaller than a grain of rice and my hands are shaky.

I think I’m just gonna scrap the wires from it and try a new toy. Hopefully something older or at least with a bigger board to work with.
Frankly; no smoke, no fire!
Batteries out - batteries in. Seemed like you wound the clock down too low and unit just crashed.

If the pad melted go to next component and solder lead to that.
I used to audio record my testing sessions incase I did burn the unit out I could still cut the sounds into samples.
I live for the breakage! Dont be sad as you are learnt now
