Hey all. So I bought a Hanns-G HG281D monitor from a guy a couple months ago, it was broken, he replaced a couple caps, then sold it to me. Well, after a couple months it started giving me problems so I found these forums and when it finally gave out I recapped the logic board... well... tried. Turns out he used more junk caps that failed and not only that, when he replaced them he messed up the board so trying to work around what he did was a pain... Plus I don't solder regularly so my first couple solders weren't that great... I replaced the ones I figured were the problem, started the monitor up and it worked! But as recommended by the forums I continued to replace the caps since they were CapXon caps. I've attached some pictures of what I'm about to explain...
So I got to the last cap and for the life of me could not get the hole cleaned up. Solder sucker didn't work, wick didn't work, and because this was the last one I was just getting frustrated. Anyways... I ended up messing it up, tried to drill it out, and now I'm assuming the board is pretty much dead and I'm resigned to the fact that I'll probably have to buy a new one. Anyways, I'm not sure how these work exactly. I started to just try and scrape off the top layer to uncover the traces and just solder onto those but I don't know if there's other layers this piece needs to get to or which traces I should even connect to... Any help or advice would be appreciated if there's any way I can salvage this!
