Repairing a Torn Pad on a HDD Board

holy shit dude! that looks so damn clean! you reckon I could use an engraving tool instead of a small dremmel? also what is the green stuff you use is it just conformal coating?

@@seb5689 Engraving tool may be too powerful. I don’t know what type you have but it should generally do the same thing. Just be careful not to put too much pressure. You wanna touch it VERY softly. And the green stuff is solder mask. You can harden it with a UV light. Protects any shorts from happening and keeps it glued down technically. Haha. Use some hot air when using the UV mask to harden it quicker (little secret) 😁
