FIXED Repairing a pcb - two wires

[gstyle17007]

Need a bit of advice fixing a blind mans pcb.

Good job he he decided to try flashing first he wanted to RGH it

Two pads lifted, Im thinking scrape away the traces leading to the pads and solder directly to them or shall i solder a new to them and then solder them to the pcb wires?

Also I will be de-soldering his other wires and applying new solder just before anyone points it out.

Any help apprecitated.

Scrape back to the pads and solder on a piece of kynar.
Secure the kynar to the pcb using glue or epoxy and leave a little exposed so you can solder to it.

Even if you trace the points across the pcb you will find they are harder to solder to anyway.

Couldn't he just solder a fine piece of Kynar to the two VIA holes shown in the attached image (assuming those are the correct points)?

Thats what im saying :rolleyes2:

1. Solder kynar to points you pictured
2. Glue kynar down so you can use it as a solder point on the board.

Ooo, I see - sorry TJ .

Purposely damaged a pcb to show how you would do it

Add a little glue over the points where you soldered too though
I did this quickly but take your time and use flux.

well it don't get much better support than that for you op

An admin damaging his own pcb to help you out:biggrin::biggrin:

Thanks alot guys, TJ was a coincidence that I was checking out your site yesterday your work with xboxs is amazing.

Thanks again all sorted now ended up soldering all 5 points, I think the pads look like the heat was on them for too long, or it may have been the iron was too hot.

Thanks again

Also just a general question I am doing some RGH's soon (once cr v3 is out) and am wondering whether it would be suitable to use hot glue, or just some type of tape as I havent seen on here that hot glue can rip traces.

also I have a 12w antex and a 50w antex with temperature control which is best to use for rgh (im thinking 50w).

THanks

You can hot glue the wires to secure them but don't glue the actual points!

With regards to the soldering iron, the temperature controlled one might be a better option.
