RGH C5R11 and R4P5 pads removed. D: [CORONA V4]

[chepsy99]

Uhhhh so I was RGHING my corona v4, everything was going fine, I got RROD so I tried to resolder the R4P5 point and the pad literally just fell off... it just came straight off. Then I was like.... O sh*t.... so I used the C5R11 pad, and the same thing. I put the iron down on the pad, put the wire on, lift iron back up, and hey! the pad wanted to come too! So now I'm basically f**ked. I soldered the wire (successfully) to the FT3T10 point, but now my cr3 doesn't even blink.... can I have help fixing this?

I don't actually fully understand the process behind a trace repair, or which points to do etc.
I saw a few pics with a line following the trace but I don't see how that is helpful?

NOTE: I cannot send this off to be repaired. I need to fix this myself. Please don't say "send it to some one."
NOTE: Please don't link me to that really long thread about this, it literally made no sense(I Have spent the past hour googling this, I just need some one to explain...)

If you don't want to send it off then I suggest you get some serious experience under your belt before attempting a repair. No one can type out anything to give you the skill needed to fix this. Skill is earned...... Not given. I'm not trying to sound like an ass but since you don't want to send it out then I don't think you have a choice but to learn to solder.

 

[chepsy99]

Okay, but how exactly do I go about fixing it? I don't understand what the fix is?

 

[Krafter]

Thats my point. If you can't see the damage then the chances of you fixing this are slim. I see missing components. The components are supposed to be connected to solder pads and the pads connected to traces. Since the pads are missing then that means the components need to be attached directly to the traces. That is much harder than just simply replacing them.

Again, I'm not trying to be an ass and I apologize if I'm coming off that way.

 

[chepsy99]

Do you know anyone in Australia / Sydney that can service this kind of damage?

 

[Krafter]

Sorry but no I don't. Make a post on the request for service section and see who responds.

 

[chepsy99]

Ugh. I wish I could just do this myself. Anyway I will post there.
What kind of expense would I be looking at?

 

[CptKlink]

Well if its only thoes two points and nothing else is damaged and its not damaged too much i think it will be rather cheap to fix. And maybe just maybe if the damage isen't bad at all and you find a nice guy he might even do it for free but thats a big maybe.

 

[chepsy99]

I saw some one else do a trace repair on this. Could some one please post a pic?

 

[chepsy99]

I'm doing this to learn, so I need to gain experience. I think it would be more helpful even if it breaks if I do it rather than some one else. That way I will be able to do it in the future.

 

[playingmax]

since you want to learn here you go.

 

[playingmax]

this could help u out too.

good luck.

 

[chepsy99]

Thanks guys! I will post how it goes. Also, I assume the C5R11 point doesn't require repair as it's not vital?

 

[chepsy99]

Okay so I looked into it, where is the C5R11 point (trace) to connect a wire to? I can't see it

 

[chepsy99]

UPDATE: Fixed! Still haven't done the C5R11 reconnection but the cr3 now blinks green. Still RROD tho, any ideas why?
+1 noob cred?

Note: I realise the bottom one looks sorta bridged, just cleaned that up. looks all nice:tongue:

 

[chepsy99]

Uhm guys I don't know what to do now? Where is the trace for the C5R11 pad?

 

[alexander_1333]

No need to wory about C5R11 pad.It's a dead end pad.

 

[jekdyell]

make sure the wire is not bridged to the R4P4 resistor.

 

[Taijigamer2]

What type of iron, solder and flux are u using? Is the cr now blinking green every 5 seconds?
