I had an arcade machine game board with black traces everywhere really fine traces too, the board must of been left in a garage or somewhere damp as ive never seen so many traces blackened off like this and the chip sockets all were corroded, remarkably the game still worked i sold it on cheap as it was only a matter time and it would of taken a long time to put that right.
Got a Kenmore dryer board. 300 bucks to replace. Return circuit burn on the relay pin. Common issue. Heavy current load and heat. Melts the solder after 9 years time. Fix this or replace? I'd say it had a good life. I know the motor is now pulling more current because it too is 9.
I was trying to repair a child's toy vending machine. A corner of the board broke right off. I superglued the corner back on, and bought a soldering gun. A little scraping and a blob of solder later, it totally worked. I still can't believe it. Thanks for the comment you made at 0:15 to "see if it's small enough to bridge over with solder." That's what I did, and my kid thinks I'm the bomb. Thanks Kevin for taking the time to put this online!!! It really helped me with my first ever soldering project.
+TutorialSurplus I want to make sure that you know what I'm talking about. I didn't use lead I used a lead from a resistor, that is the leg of component not the metal material leadd just making sure you understood. Now this other that I use contains lead..
i just fixed my 486 board, the barrel battery leaked some acid on the board and a few traces were damaged, i cleaned the acid off with some vinegar and distilled water, let it dry, then did the repairs and finally got it to post again. soldered on a cr2032 holder and a diode to make it keep the time and settings so i don't have to set the settings every boot.
Great Video! I suggest you get in touch on Instagram for more details about how circuit board repair and more. Follow us on Skype: instagram.com/lue_yang/ Cheers!
ibb.co/s5GpX4Q can you help me with this I accidentally scrape of my Data- wire off board and it was connected like this ibb.co/JyH4qmD before but as you can see in first picture i completely ruined the thing and I don't know where it connects to, mouse is Logitech G100s
Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about "scratched motherboard screwdriver" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Giyathan Bewildering Gratification - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a good one of a kind product for discovering how to repair your electronic items like a wizard minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.

I I have a Rockford Fosgate bd1000 Old School Big Boy and it seem to blow have blown and marcet in the middle of the amp on the left side of the board I can't seem to find nobody to help me or show me how to repair it I will Priestley I will greatly appreciate it if you can show me or get back at me about how to repair it because I kind of like that at and I would like to have it back up running again if it's possible thank you a true bass head forever
Best trace repair video by far - no others that I found come close. Good picture, great skills and a complete job. It would be great to have some product advice on the final coating though.
HI,what kind of flux is that you are using,looks like liquid gel maybe ? My electric guitar amps PCB has 1 piece about 1.5'' thats gone now and i want to fix it,this looks like how I need to do it..I like this video and subscribed.
Hi Kev! I ABSOLUTELY LOVED YOUR VIDEO. The easiest one yet to follow. Here's my dilemma: I was working on a power supply board for a tv. I made a mistake and place a hole in the trace while trying to remove a mosfet. Can I use wire to connect the bridge. At first the tv had no power. I replaced the mosfet and now at least it clicks. I'm wondering if it the hole and one part of the trace is not connected to the other. HELP!!!!! PLEASE!!!! THANK YOU!
mw3051 A conformal coating is the same same as the solder mask. Its used to protect high impedance joint from oxidizing. In this case it used to stop further oxidation by protecting the repair from the air. An electrolytic capacitor leaking on a circuit board is usually what causes this kind of corrosion.
sometimes a bridge with a wire is good, you're probably much more professional in this area than me. I learned on the job in a tv repair shop from other techs.
This is what I use . www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OA77NG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You can use clear acrylic nail polish in a pinch.
@@The_Active_Region No disrespect meant. Would be concerned with moisture. After watching your vid I was encouraged to attempt a tiny circuit repair on a quartz watch board. It worked well, thanks.
Im trying to learn how to repair the board for logitech 2.1 speaker which i pulled out cable by accident.....whats that transparent liquid or how you say flux?....nice work btw
