For home repairs, this is a great way to do it, just expose the traces and jump with broken trace with a piece of wire. I've done it myself quite a few times. But just some tips from a solder repair technician who's had to repair enterprise circuit boards on the assembly line, given you are wanting to produce a quality job for resale. There is a product called bonding film, or dry film, for trace repair. The idea is, it's a heat-activated adhesive tape to rebond the traces to the PCB. You lift up the bad trace, cut off a small part of the ends of the traces to give yourself a clean cut to solder on. Cut the film to the size of the trace, and place it under the traces you just lifted up. Then you'd use a piece of circuit track (either by taking a piece from a salvaged PCB after you have cleaned off the mask, or you can buy rolls of them) and place it on the adhesive to fill in the rest of the missing trace, allowing for a tiny bit of overlap so the solder can bond them. You then use your iron to press the traces down onto the adhesive and apply heat from the iron to bond the traces to the surface. Give it a quick zap of solder and flux, and now you have your repaired trace. Going further, you can use UV cured solder mask to protect the repaired trace. And now you have an IPC certified repair. More details on the procedure here: www.circuitmedic.com/guides/4-2-2.html Note: The tutorial describes using a circuit frame, which is pre-manufactured copper traces with the adhesive bonding film already in place. But the cheaper alternative is to use the bonding film, and bare copper traces to fix. They also show specialized bonding equipment which is not needed. Regular soldering iron and tip will do the job just as well. Bonding film: www.circuitmedic.com/parts/115-2706.html UV Activated Solder Mask: www.ebay.com/itm/10ml-Green-UV-solder-mask-PCB-BGA-soldering-welding-fluxes-oil-uv-curing-lig-ti-/123905351638 Roll of copper track (optional only if you don't have salvaged PCB's): www.circuitmedic.com/parts/115-5204.html

I know Nintendo games and consoles sell for way more than they should even 20 years after they've been out of production, so if you're refurbing these things you need to do more to make them worth it.

Wire wrap wire (30 AWG) is great for trace repair. Its plastic coated so it can handle longer runs (aka bodges) and pre-tinned so its easy to solder. Some repair guys also use enamel (magnet) wire. In a pinch, finding some old telephone cabling will net you some solid 28 AWG (or so) copper wire, a little harder to work with as the wire is thicker and sticks up more when on the PCB trace. A trick on the PCB repairs is to touch the iron very briefly to the wire as copper transfers heat quickly, leaving the iron on too long will melt the solder along the entire repair. Dabbing the iron at alternating opposite ends allows the repair to be touched up without melting the whole thing. Several solutions for removing rust, one of the simplest ones to try is a dip in coca-cola for a few days. Other acid solutions work as well such as citric acid. A visit to Canadian Tire will net a bottle of evapo-rust for heavier de-rusting jobs (the cola is cheaper though). Thanks for posting, its nice to see stuff getting repaired instead of thrown out. Cheers,

one trick i used to save a rare cart for a friend was to "tin" the pins on the bottom of the cart, the benefit of it is you can do differing thicknesses to take up the gap. the one i fixed only needed a thin coating on all the pins, it was just enough to help it make contact, it is soft too so it wont bugger up the slot, just dont go mad with the thickness, this works on carts with really corroded pins just use common sense.
@RetroRepairs5 жыл бұрын
Yep, pretty much a last resort option, but if necessary, that's a way to get a better connection. There were some NES cart boards that were thinner than normal, so they'd always cause issues playing. Can add solder and use a desoldering braid to leave just a thin film.

Just a guess, but the intermittent failure might've been caused by the repair wire making contact with the shield on the case, especially since it looks like the shield was what cut the trace in the first place.

If anyone is new to cleaning goldfinger pins, you should *only* use isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip and scrub each pin individually with an up and down motion only (almost never use anything more abrasive than a q-tip - the gold layer is delicate - you do not want to abrade the gold layer off of the pins). For most games this will restore contact with the pin connector - only as an absolute last resort should you even consider using a pencil eraser (and even then, strictly a careful up and down motion only on each pin). Also before testing games (after cleaning them), make absolutely sure the pin connector slot in the console has also been completely cleaned (it's only going to crud up your pin connector/pins if you test a dirty game/console, making it difficult to know if it's a problem with the game or the console).
