Hi Alex, When I work on such repair I would always put the cap or whatever component in the original position. In the past I had instances where the board didn't fit back into the housing because the moved component was in the way of the housing. So I learnt to always position the component in the original location if I didn't have the housing to make sure it's not in the way. Great video as always.

These cards are used typically in broadcast facilities which is my area of work for communicating between different areas. Typically called ‘talkback’ where the director calls out to video server team and calls ‘Roll A’ to play the video clip in port A. Or to communicate with an outside broadcast facility. We used RTS products for a number of years before changing vendor

Thanks for a great video as always. Just trying to understand why original pads could not be soldered/glued back in place, they looked good and large enough

[@ugkeys6314]

gluing a pad to will not restore the trace unless you grind and solder over, but slight mistreatment will rip them back again so there's no point.

[@superconductives88]

@@ugkeys6314 Well, he sometimes uses new pad strips from a template. So how is reusing original pad strips much different (as long as they secured well back to board)?

[@veselinvasilev5739]

I think i used UV light on that B7000 glue to cure faster in the past. Not sure, but it can't hurt.

[@shamsalfaisal]

[@vidsofyermom]

Hey @NorthridgeFix! How much do the pads differ depending on the factory process? Do you notice certain manufacturers having crappier pads than others? For example, If Sony used a better manufacturer for their motherboards, would it be harder to snap an HDMI connector and it's pads off a board? Love learning from you. I just wish I had the liquid cash to buy everything from your shop. :D

[@rocketPower047]

Either the circuit card (pre-populated) was manufactured incorrectly or with contaminated materials, or the soldering was done improperly when populating the card at the OEM. Usually though it is just handled too roughly. Why do think its video cards and consoles and gaming laptops that are constantly sent in? Teenagers and kids are rough with their things. I'm so delicate when unplugging my screen from my thunderbolt port, I pull with just enough force so it pops out on its own. Never yank, and never at an angle.

[@ForgottenLore]

Sony boards will be top quality as far as consumer PCBs are concerned, sure they could over-engineer the ports to have better strain relief but ultimately if you are careful they will last a long time.

[@rocketPower047]

@@ForgottenLore you know the manufacturer cares when they eliminate the failure mode where a knob or switch can damage the motherboard

[@youtubasoarus]

That depends on the thickness of the copper layer of the PCB before it's etched. The "pads" are just formed after it is etched.

[@Ryan_DeWitt]

I have heard him state before that there are certain devices that he is extra delicate on as he know they in particular have weak pads that tear off easy.

[@iontesu2911]

I like the work and the commentary. Quick comment/question: should you have put kapton tape between the cap and the pcb traces to make sure, in the long run, no shorts will happen between the cap pads to the pcb traces? (I understand that the pcb traces are isolated with the solder mask, but just to be sure...)

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

It's the glue that's most definitely going between the cap and the traces. It's a very fluid glue. It will do the job perfectly. Try one when you feel like it. You will see what I'm talking about.

[@AmigaofRochester]

Nice work, how I'd have fixed it too. Might have replaced the caps too but I also don't have a million things at any time come through so that's understandable.

[@Codevlog]

Thats interesting

[@DavidLeeMenefee]

Did you ohm out the cap before you replaced it back on the board, I did not see that.

[@djembudtkribo5415]

maybe u have to using PCB UV curing paste for ripped pcb track like that sir...

[@ferrasmohamed4459]

How did you learn all of your knowledge about electronics

[@007mrdarcy]

Can I ask you Alex, Is it possible to Superglue the Capacitor pads back onto the PCB and then solder them back to the tracks? It would save all that grinding and extra wire. Just a thought.

[@NickoDim]

Super glue does not like heat. The pads will fall off when solder is applied. The only thing I would have done differently is perhaps use solder wick instead of wire as it stays flat.

[@ianhaylock7409]

You would need to use epoxy glue as superglue breaks down when you resolder the pad.

[@dylanbyrne9591]

good question

[@Perkeletricksterservantofrher]

Hi Northridge repair ! I wanted to ask a question. As my laptop screen is nasty I wanted to replace the panel and know pretty much what to do and how. But i am just wondering why is the reason we disconnect the battery while we replace the panel ? Is there a reason why replacing the panel shorts anything while the board has ambient juice from the battery while it is fully powered off and unplugged from power supply ? Would just like to know from a quite experienced from the looks of it technician. Thanks much.

[@baba0rum]

The screen connector might do electrical damage when being removed or put back as some pins can touch other pin If the battery is still connected, there might be some power through that connector. So dont try to save time when a single short will cost def way more arse

[@twonirwin4056]

Question, why not use hot glue in this instance? Heat?

[@sayakbanerjee9]

Absence of cap card should work. Cap after some regular or pi filter or dcdc. There are some de cupping cap also should remain

[@davepusey]

I'm curious to know how this damage happened, given these types of card usually live inside a larger chassis and are rarely touched/handled beyond the initial installation and commissioning phase.

[@abendroid]

Customer may have drop the card during maintenance.

[@fubar8826]

Especially those kind of equipment used in enterprises runs for a very long time, some quality issues that you may never see with consumer hardware can occur after 5+ years. Needless to say enterprise vendors aren't much help in this case, so more business for NorthridgeFix I guess.

The note from the customer said "knocked up". Most likely by pulling the board out or inserting it in the enclosure

How hard is that glue to remove if one needs to replace cap? Thank you for your videos!

[@Jencha010101]

Heating that glue up to 70-80 degrees makes it weak. Or dissolving with isopropyl alcohol. At least thats how you open smartphone screens...

[@Dandan-tg6tj]

Not hard. It's a very fluid glue , a very elastic one and very easy to remove if you have the proper tools.

[@GainingDespair]

Alcohol is very effective for separating it from PCB, same process as removing hot glue. Gets underneath the adhesive and it separates cleanly.

[@pcb1962]

It softens with heat, easily removeable

[@devonwilson5776]

Greetings. The other commentators have supplied the answers. I was thinking that you would simply apply heat. I am now learning that the application of alcohol to the glue would aid the process of removal as well. Thanks guys.

b7000 is cold, hotglue is hot , sometimes very hot and probably can affect the capacitor.

[@I_Evo]

I was expecting him to use a UV curing glue.

[@TheKrokogil]

HI, very interesting, but I have two questions: if the cap is for voice, can't the wire replacement for the pad induce some interference (i.e. like an antenna)? when cutting the wire directly on the board isn't there a risk of cutting the two traces on the board?

[@NorthridgeFix]

U need to know what you're doing and you'll be fine.

[@robertpage2023]

Mr. Alex's surgical touch is from experience in working and repairing so many devices. As he said, "Knowing" is what it's all about along with his vast experience in the field. Antenna's on a board are specifically placed and I don't see where the extra wire soldered to the base of the cap is a problem. The cap itself would have to be an interference as it is made of aluminum with much more surface area exposed. Anyway, a capacitor is a passive component and cannot amplify the signal.

[@jackofalltradesmasterofnon4835]

@@strawman9410 My guess is; the cap is for power supply. It’s not a part of a filter. (It’s too large). The wire is still short, in comparison to the wavelength of audio. I would assume any conversation of analog/digital is done close to the connectors.

[@Sloxx701]

@@strawman9410 100 uF bulk electrolytic caps on a telecom/intercom/VOIP board like that are likely being used for power rail filtering, just like they would be on most types of boards. You can also tell by the width of the traces used going to the foot print of the capacitor, this is a high current power trace, not a signal trace. So no, a wire a few mm longer there would have no effect on the circuits.

[@devonwilson5776]

Greetings. I too was concerned about that as well. However, I observed that the traces were not immediately beneath the point where the cut was made. Therefore, with close attention the incision could have been, and was carried, out without damaging the surrounding traces. I was also concerned about the negative terminal until the glue was applied. It did not appear sturdy enough for me. The glue removed my fears.
