How to fix lifted solder pads, broken vias and traces on circuit boards.

In this video I will demonstrate on how to repair lifted solder pads or test points. As well as broken vias and traces. A helpful soldering guide for repairing liquid damage and corrosion or even accidental mistakes on circuit boards. I will be using a gameboy advance sp pcb.

You make this look so easy. I feel personally called out with the ips screen mod😂 thanks for the vid!!

Cool!, super intricate work, great skills you have there :) your channel deserves many many more subs and views 👏

Dude, thank you so much. I just finished modding my gc controller mobo and then I broke one of the pads for the cable, and this worked and fixed it!

Nice vid, thanks! Just saved my Sega Game Gear! I ripped off a pad when replacing the cap. Thanks so much!!!!😁

Really great work my bro!! I lifted pads on that power port when trying to install the usbc mod. Like 3 pads so I’m still trying to figure that one out. The trace runs under the port that is supposed to sit flush to the pcb so in order to put it back the wire I’ll be crushed. Idk lol - I’ll try something soon. Nice vid!! 😊

I got a keyboard I'm upgrading and screwed up some pads, this is going to be a huge help.

This is so helpful! I destroyed my 2 DS macro mods because I ripped off the pads 😂 now I can fix them

Thank you ! I’m really new at this. I was trying to replace my screen on my GBA SP. I was doing pretty okay but somehow the Q12B pad got pulled by the cable and the pad now is gone. I don’t know how to fix it. A video about this would be really helpful for all of us who are new. Thank you!

is it safe to assume this would also apply to a lifted pad on the volume slider

[vincentahnelov]

How do you trace witch pin the broken pad connects to?

[josipkuric]

I got my answers on this wideo, thank you wery much

What is the iron wire name you used to connect them.

[giovannigiorgio]

do i need to fix the under pad too " other side ?? or just one side

[mannyzoom]

Does this also apply to the battery soldering pad when lifted up in a gba cart

Hey Miguel! Hope you're doing well, just letting you know I saw an AGS101 screen on Mercari with a broken ribbon cable for $10 if you want it.

Currently attempting to make a circuit board repair ~ replacing a relay solenoid for a "start" button ~ and I'm not sure what I'm looking at here: Started to solder a new 4 pin solenoid onto the board after removing toasted one and 3 of the circuit board holes have normal tiny circular donuts that the pins fit through but the 4th hole does not appear to have that... Instead, the pin is sticking up through a piece of composite matting material and I don't see the usual tiny metal grommet / donut the pin usually would be sticking up through ~ it's just poking through like a strip of fibrous composite stuff that appears to be built into the circuit board. Anyone have any idea what I'm looking at here? Am I just supposed to apply solder onto this mess and hope for the best or what? Why doesn't 4th hole simply have the usual little metal ring that's built into the board? Trying my best not to have to spend $1400 on a new dryer. Thx.

Sorry for asking but what soldering iron it's that?

0:41 You say you are replacing a ripped solder pad, but it is not at all clear where the ripped pad is. You go straight into scraping/cleaning a pad (a) that is clearly intact. I'm guessing you are trying to connect (a) the pad you are cleaning to (b) the pad right above the C56 marking, and that the ripped pad AND WIRE was in the dark area between (a) and (b). Is that correct?

1:42 whoa you are jumping too fast here. What is the relation between the component you suddenly bring into the picture and the missing pad (which by the way looks like it is really a missing pad AND a wire in between the two other pads)? To me it looks like the component is soldered at C56, and then the wire is added on from (a) no to (b) but to the pin of the component. Yes?

Looks very doable, I just need practice
