What is the Easy Trace Jumper? What is its purpose?
The original idea and purpose of the Easy Trace Jumper was to create a drop in interposer that significantly increased the robustness of the iPhone 7 Plus Audio IC repair.
This was accomplished by taking advantage of all eight surface level traces within reach of the effected IC chip including ground, as opposed to the current one wire method and additional three upon a warranty.
So within the same time as the one wire method, you can run eight, effectively giving your repair an extra boost of confidence that you did all you could!
What makes this product so unique?
Self Aligning - The unusual shape isn’t an accident. We went through many iterations and designed this FPC to “drop in” using surrounding components as a guide. The ETJ is self-aligning, so your jumpers and pads are perfectly aligned every time.
No Braiding - No need to clean those pads bare and risk any further damage. The ETJ works best when there is already a small amount of solder on the pads.
No Wires - There is no need to run any wires to surface traces. Just drop the ETJ in place, spot solder the edges, and place your IC.
No Solder Mask - Stop struggling with UV solder mask. No more “blobs” of green liquid running between components. The ETJ has solder mask already, so those traces are protected.
No Delay - No wires, no obsessive cleaning of flux, and no mask to cure, means no delays in getting the repair done.
Flat Flex - No need to worry about your radial wires preventing the IC from sitting flush/flat. The ETJ is flat, like the motherboard, and like the IC, so it’s right at home sitting between the two.
Perfect Placement - With corners marked for you, perfect placement of the IC is a breeze. Just check the corner alignment marks when placing the IC.
More than just C12 - We included all the surface traces for you. You won’t experience an issue with microphone function or lightning headphones due to lack of jumpers. There’s 8 surface traces, including a ground. In addition, there’s a network of ground connections underneath, so you won’t run into issues due to a missing analog/digital ground reference
Professional Finish - The finished repair looks great. Just like a clean desk, there’s a sense of satisfaction that comes with a clean trace repair job.

Dude you said 2 seconds job but you spend 20 minutes talking . Anyways thanks 🙏 As always I have learnt something. I’ve never knew about this easy trace jumper

[@TheArtofRepair]

It’s the install video where I clearly explained I was taking my time to show you how to install it right. 🤦‍♂️ that requires explanation for those who need the information. very easy to see it only takes a moment if you are just at work doing your job 😀

I just found this channel a few days ago and started to watch all the videos, I think that channel will beat Rossman Group in the future!

[@billsalih4769]

Nice work Justin. I haven't done a Qcom one as yet so was great to watch :)

[@hichambayed8210]

Will done my boy

[@pcvitamins]

I Agrree send us some free ones to try out

[@MrNabmas]

I’ve never seen that before! Thanks for the vid

[@Pospesel]

Justin, can you please share the actual size of the chisel tip you use? About 3 pads wide has resulted in some guesswork on my end. Thank you.

[@ey8002]

where can I buy this Easy Trace Jumper ?

[@zxrjimmy1]

No way, will stick to running the jumpers, a lot faster and cleaner

[@Electrolab28Ag]

Hey man love your videos, do you do any video for iPhone repair for beginners? I would love to learn.

[@SURGE101]

That’s a clever bit of kit that makes life easier, never heard of them. I’m definitely going to buy some. Is this the easy trace jumper for when you tear pads off the board?? Thanks jay

[@TheArtofRepair]

This is a new product developed between A1 Mobiles and Repairs in Aus and the Art of Repair. This is the first time they have been sold outside the development region in AUS =)

[@SURGE101]

@@TheArtofRepair is it used for ripped pad repair?? Thanks jay

[@benwrong6855]

@@TheArtofRepair good idea

[@zomaardan]

Hello sir, so these ic is prejumped??

[@TheArtofRepair]

this is a layer in the middle, think of it as one large jumper that goes under the chip =)

[@zomaardan]

@@TheArtofRepair Understood. Thanks J.

[@thatdude5104]

This is great man, I think this can make boardlevel repairs like these more accessible for lvl2 techs. Thanks for your contribution to the field!

[@Dusten04]

Idk, looks easier to install the jumpers normally. Good video tho

[@microsoldering1]

I guess you don't actually need to use all the jumpers. If you just want to do the 4 main ones it doesn't matter. But if you lose any of the other pads, the other jumpers are there to serve you. Like the ground in the corner

[@markphilpot4981]

I see it this way, if you aren’t learning, you already know. Either way, you may have gone another way. Then, you still learn a new way. Win, win folks. Stay safe mates!😊👍🏻😷

Esto agrega una capa mas de complejidad... no creo que de buenos resultados. Mas que nada me parece que con el tiempo tiene mas posobilidades de fracturarse las soldadudar que están debajo, y ni hablar que queda el flux entre las capas.
