FlashForge Creator Pro heated bed replacemen

So, first off, I want to say I'm not exactly sure if this is the correct place to talk about this, but I couldn't find any better 3D printing forums.

The FlashForge Creator Pro has had a massive design flaw for many years now where the heated bed connector can't take the 200W the heater uses, resulting in a melted connector and lifted traces. An image of such an instance is shown below. I have been trying to rectify this issue for a while by replacing the bed and soldering new wires in ( it melted and lifted, again... ). I'm at my wit's end with this problem, so does anyone have any ideas for replacing the bed heater PCB? Any input is much appreciated.

I don't think this is the right Forum - since this is a Prusa Forum.

I think Reddit r/printing is the right adress: https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/

With your problem I can not help sorry - do not know that much about electronics.

With a hobby knife, scrape away the green protective layer at the site of the red and black circle.

Sanding away with sandpaper is also an option.

Do this until the copper layer becomes visible.

Now solder the wires to it.

Drill the two holes where the original connector used to be so that a cable tie can be used to secure the soldered cable.
