Can you get more specific with the wire recommended? It appears to be either bare tinned copper wire or bare stainless steel wire in the pictures. I would think tinned copper would be easier to solder than steel, but I don't have real world experience with either. Could you use insulated hookup wire to make sure you are not accidentally connecting to any of the other components with the bare wire?
I've been practicing my micro soldering skills and am getting close to being comfortable enough to give this a try. However, I have a couple of questions regarding this section of the guide:
Beta release: Note that the firmware and instructions are still in beta, so there may be further revisions. The firmware update tool from our supplier currently is only available for Windows. We're also running a beta test with 2nd Gen HDMI Expansion Cards with Batch 1 of 13th Gen that has a slightly different modification.
1. What are the chances that the hardware modification instructions are going to be revised? I'm ok with re-flashing the firmware at a later date, but having to undo and redo this soldering would be pretty lame.
2. What are the chances of being able to flash the firmware under Linux, as I'm not a Windows user?

Sliding the lid off took quite a bit more force than I was expecting, but it did eventually break loose.
