yes you have to desolder very carefully i have had several screen boards with totally burnt out pads i have to through hole rivet them because customers tried to desolder them
and solder the traces to the rivets
its a timely job
but the glue they used for the copper clad is really bad on the screen boards and they looked like they were wave soldered to hot

No, I used leaded solder, and a digital soldering iron.

The problem was a broken trace from when I desoldered the old LCD. To fix it, I had to expose some of the trace and build a tiny bridge to the OLED pin that was not connected.

I guess this connection just failed over time as it worked for 6 months before failing.
