I am by no means an electronic expert, but I can recognise quality workmanship. I am making my way through all your videos. Came across your channel by accident and all I say is that is it fascinating. Many years ago I have opened up my headphones to swap the cable but I think I damaged the pads by over heating. So I am amazed that you can solder such small components. My eyesight would definitely not allow for such close work.

I realize this is an older video. Your repair will absolutely work. They actually make circuit board repair kits that include every size pad and runner for most any type circuit board repair. And those kits include feed throughs as well in multiple diameter sizes. When I was in aircraft circuit repair, we even repaired totally burnt through circuits when a part literally burnt the board leaving a hole. Yes, that can be repaired as well... Thumbs Up!

It's great to see a legit pro dealing with this kind of mental issue. I'm bingeing your videos

Please turn down your music level or turn up your voice level to closely match each other! Great repairs on the board. Thanks for posting and take care!

Great vid. Last night I was messing with a solar charger board (Cn3722 ic) and managed to make a mess of it. Found this vid and the biggest thing that I got out of it was that you are light years ahead of me LOL!
My hands are shakey, my eyesight is terrible, my magnifying glass gets in the way no matter where I put it. Blah blah blah. I think I should find a house in your area and buy you beers until you offer to teach me how it's done. Mate you make it look so easy. Top stuff and fantastic work. :-)

Your work in replacing the pad is perfect. For traces I prefer wire and mask, because sometimes we have 1mm missing traces to repair, and the wire technic is better for longer traces. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the instruction, I just managed to to solder a power supply cable straight to the board on a GPS navigation computer after the micro USB power plug broke off the board. Great advice in your video.

You make this so interesting to watch, I've just watched about 5 on the trot. You make it look easy, that's the sign of a professional . Thanks for posting

My soldering generally looks like a walrus suffering from vertigo tried to fix a PCB using a blowtorch whilst riding the swinging ships at a theme park. But thanks to your videos, I think I'm getting better.

Man, your videos are so great and you are a MASTER of your craft. Kudos! I have spent the last day and a half watching all of your videos and going back over them to watch your technique and hear you talk. Many thanks from over here in the Midwest U.S and keep up the awesome work!!

[brianwood]

Once again, an excellent result. Thanks for sharing.

On the capacitor, why do you not stick the pad down rather sticking the component? I have seen videos when the pad is stuck down with epoxy. Would this not allow the component to be replaced in the future. Thanks.

[johnhorvath]

Thank you for your videos you're very very very good. I work on quartz watches and you are a great inspiration for me

[lizzielecates]

Nice... I have to admit I was surprised you didn't bond the pad down with underfill or a high temp glue of some sort... but it indeed was functional! love your videos.

This stuff is so good I'm convinced you've actually got giant parts, a giant soldering iron and giant tweezers. Its not proper electronics at all.

[salimbouacha]

First, big thanks for the share. REALY Good work and a nice presentation.

Stripping that pad with a scalpel and rolling it up, wasn't a technician's job, that was art.

Btw, I found on EEVBLOG a recipe for making homemade flux. Since in Uruguay we lack access to specialized items, I tried to mix it.

It was a great success!

3% of Glycerin
and the rest of Isoprophil Alcohol at 99% to complete 1L.

Mixed it on a 1L bottle and shaked it once a day for three days. Filtered and put in a syringe. Works a treat!

As a tangential bonus, you can make different mixes and have less viscus mix side by side with a paste.

Great video! Exactly what I needed to know.
