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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.

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
+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..
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.
@@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.
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

From one Kevin to another, I'll just say you are AMAZING. Great work my friend! Kevin in southwest Louisiana.

that was a cool video Kev! You in the corner with Zoom on your work and good commentary. Well done.
Very nice work Kev, as usual.
Love your videos !
Love your videos. Lots of folks use clear nail polish instead of the more expensive conformal coating. Seems to work fine as well.
I have done that as well in the past.

nice work Mr. professional.
surgeon presicion! dude, fantastic technique!
Question answered in first 20 seconds - and that's bad news. Nice work.

Btw you just gained a new subscriber!
Wow... circuit board surgery.. nice implant.
Great work
Like the large camera view.
i have a black xbox one s controller that doesnt power on because of a broken part on the pcb what do i do for that

You can fix and if if doesn't last you can always replace.
Nice work.
+MrMac5150 Thanks..

Thanks for the video =)
what kind of wire did you use?
What is the most common cause for corrosion, Kevin?
I need your skills on 3 traces damaged when removing Xbox 360 x-clamp 😢
very easy & simple
Excellent
I meant to say about 1.5" of a trace is gone and want to fix in using this method.
where did you get that microscope? Is it medical or is it made for small electronics?
I just need a simple 2 second solder on my Roland drum kit. Solder won’t stick to the board 😐😐😐
Brilliant!

thank for your record please which kind or what are you using for cleaning after that you finished soldering
+sofiane boukhers 99 percent isopropyl alcohol.
What temperature do you heat up your soldering iron? Thanks!

Yes, you can jump the damage with a wire or solder.
@@The_Active_Region May I please send you a picture of the part of my board. I need your visual opinion of how to fix this. Thanking you in Advance..
Thumbs up fella,
What conformal coating do you use and where do you get it from? thx.
This is what I use . www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OA77NG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i have never heard of conformal, please explain. also what would make those circuit traces corrode like that ?
thank you for your video.

Good job bro
Thanks
Great vid. What kind of wire do you use?
FarmCraft101 I am also interested to know!!
What type of wire do you use for this type of repair?
I used left over wire from other repairs, it was pretty thin wire like 22 or more

Do you have ventilation?
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
Hi ! I was wondering, what "glue" are you using ? Thank You !
Its not glue, its flux.
Can we use LAN cable wire
wow, amazing.
looks like eventually, all these circuits are corroding or eaten up by bacteria?
Because...I want to trace circuit board...as like you
what are the 2 components above co05 and below co06? 1 has broken off my pcb and I cannot find it..
Send me your email in a private message I'll send you some info if I can find it again.
An smd capacitor. Check if there is a schematic / parts list for its specific type in the repair manual of your electronic.
What are you using to repair the trace is that just a piece of solder thats melted to make the line?
I think I used a lead of a resistor or something. Its just a small piece of wire nothing special.
Kev31779 would using a piece of lead solder work?
+TutorialSurplus solder might bridge the gap if it is close enough together.
alright ill try and find a small piece of lead similar to what you used thanks for the quick reply
+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..
They have denser q-tips in nails and make up section of any drug store.
Can someone tell me what kind of wire he uses?
I want to know
HEY, I sent you an email for a repair but It bounced back...
What is this board called
what I do is scrape it first and then use a pencil eraser to clean it and bridge it with solder.
You can do that as well if there is no great gap to cross.
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.
name of tiny green box
Can I send you my board to fix and pay you?
Up
Hey
The board looks detorited already, other channel looks bad
Repaired that circuit like a boss but lost me when you blew on the board.
Can win them all.
@@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.
Nah, not for a consumer repair on a 20 year old board. The device sees more moisture on a humid day than a quick blow on it. Glad I could help.
May I email u
what if i dnt have flux
Flux cleans the area and helps with heat transfer. Without it, you may have problems getting the solder to flow properly.
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
