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.

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 !

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.

nice work Mr. professional.

Love your videos. Lots of folks use clear nail polish instead of the more expensive conformal coating. Seems to work fine as well.

surgeon presicion! dude, fantastic technique!

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 work

Question answered in first 20 seconds - and that's bad news. Nice work.

Nice work.

Excellent

Btw you just gained a new subscriber!

Wow... circuit board surgery.. nice implant.

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

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.

what kind of wire did you use?

Like the large camera view.

very easy & simple

Thanks for the video =)

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.

What is the most common cause for corrosion, Kevin?

where did you get that microscope? Is it medical or is it made for small electronics?

Brilliant!

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.

What temperature do you heat up your soldering iron? Thanks!

Thumbs up fella,

Good job bro

Do you have ventilation?

What conformal coating do you use and where do you get it from? thx.

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!

I need your skills on 3 traces damaged when removing Xbox 360 x-clamp 😢

thank for your record please which kind or what are you using for cleaning after that you finished soldering

I meant to say about 1.5" of a trace is gone and want to fix in using this method.

Great vid. What kind of wire do you use?

wow, amazing.

What is this board called

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

Hi ! I was wondering, what "glue" are you using ? Thank You !

I just need a simple 2 second solder on my Roland drum kit. Solder won’t stick to the board 😐😐😐

Can we use LAN cable wire

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

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

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..

What are you using to repair the trace is that just a piece of solder thats melted to make the line?

looks like eventually, all these circuits are corroding or eaten up by bacteria?

Can someone tell me what kind of wire he uses?

Can I send you my board to fix and pay you?

They have denser q-tips in nails and make up section of any drug store.

Up

HEY, I sent you an email for a repair but It bounced back...

name of tiny green box

what I do is scrape it first and then use a pencil eraser to clean it and bridge it with solder.

May I email u

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.

what if i dnt have flux

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

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!
