So I should do a transaction for each of the three main inputs to a different Ledger receive address (ignore the dust)?
That's what I would do Smiley
The dust (0.00000546 BTC by any chance?) might have been part of a dust/spam-attack. If it's that small, it's not worth the transaction fee so don't add it. If it's more, you could add it together with the balance from the same address.

Done! Thank you!

That was quite scary awaiting confirmations and for balance to be reflected on Ledger Live, but all done.

I left the dust (a few of 0.00000547 BTC) in old wallet.

Will do more backups now.

Will sort thank you tips at some point - am working right now!

btctaipei - per previous suggestions, I loaded old wallet in offline Bitcoin Core, got a receive address from Ledger (on another online PC), copied via USB stick to offline PC, sent this in offline Bitcoin Core, copied raw transaction string back to the online PC, broadcast it via blockhair's Tor address. Repeated for each UTXO.
