Inspiring, as usual! Manufacturer video for the replacement traces shows laying down a very thin layer of solder mask underneath the new copper. I recommend this approach.
@NorthridgeFix3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for sending in the pads. I honestly wanted the pads to be free and flexible, rather then fixed. I'll try solder mask under in a different scenario. I appreciate the suggestion.

Let me tell you, he makes this job look so easy but it is far from it. I'm working with a hakko fx-888 with a good a selection of tips, a cheap hot air station, a cheap digital microscope and a hand held magnifying glass. But I know it would'nt have been any easier if Id been sitting at his bench using his more expensive equipment. Thank you so much for this channel Alex, kindest regards from Australia.
