    Sloppy de-soldering 😩

    I was removing some bad caps last night on a tv PSU and accidently got solder bridged to something unintentionally. There are little elongated pads by the legs off each capacitor, and I accidently got solder onto one bridging it to the leg. I know I CAN remove the solder, but what are the pads and is it an issue if I leave it be? There are no components on the top side connecting to those pads, but there is a bridge from the trace itself to another one. Pictures are attached.

          Thanks for the reply! I only had copper wire on hand and was able to remove some but not all. I scraped between them a little bit, put the new caps on and it appears to work fine. I think those pads are just little conductors in the trace.

              the braid has flux in it.

                  Restore solder pads for SMC on MacBook A1466
                  by dbuergi
                  Hi all,

                  i got a A1466 logic board for spare parts but it looks like the SMC ist bad. I got several spares but somehow i was too fast while removing it and ripped some pads off. You can see the damage attached.
                  Just for experience i would like to restore the lost pads but before i start (haven't done this before) do you have some hints or tutorials how to do it?
                  As written i want to improve skills so it doesnt matter if it takes longer.

                  Guide to transplant MEC1503 EC chip and EEPROM reprogamming for T14s gen 2 and X13 gen 2
                  by acedogblast
                  This is a guide that I am writing for helping others to replace their MEC1503 EC chip if it breaks (or to get around an inconvenient prompt to the BIOS). This forum has been extremely helpful to me so I would like to contribute to help others. I will tell you right now that this task is very difficult to do. You MUST have experience and tools to do precision micro-soldering, BGA reballing, trace repair, and general laptop repair skills.

                  There are some specialty tools needed to do this task. The replacement MEC1503 chips can be acquired from Aliexpress. Do not buy the bare chips as...

                  Best way to solder LVDS connector for beginner (and qfn) ?
                  by corrize
                  Hello, I'm a beginner for micro soldering. Right now I have some difficult to solder a qfn 20, I guess I put too much solder on the thermal-ground pad, the result is a corner of chip wich don't touch the board (last try).

                  I use a wire solder with hot air, I tin the board and chip before with iron and I use good flux.

                  I will have to solder a LVDS connector (40 pins, laptop pc), I saw a solder paste in seringe, good quality (it does not scatter).
                  See the test :

                  With hot air from bellow the board, that's...

                  Fixed: Lenovo P14s Gen 1 (type 20Y1, 20Y2) Laptop (ThinkPad) bricked by a withdrawn BIOS update (r1buj82w)
                  by akwky
                  Hi!
                  Went dumpster-diving and found a bricked Lenovo P14S in trash, few weeks earlier. Symptoms - no screen, no POST, no beep, just keyboard LEDs flashing on powerup. Mute button+LED was responding though, and the display self-test was still working (via the key combo Ctrl+Fn+Power held for some seconds, see the Service manual).

                  Incidentally, Windows 11 have recently started auto-flashing computer BIOS in our region. Even more suspiciously, Lenovo has released a BIOS update just few days before the PC was trashed. About a week later, the BIOS update image has been oficially marked...

                  UV solder mask - high temp resistent, recomendation?
                  by myth77
                  Can someone recommend any good UV solder mask? But i need a solder mask that will stand high temperetures. The thing is...sometimes i have a bigger cooper ripped from the board, lets say mosfet pad... i reconstract it with cooper sheet, then i "glue it" with solder mask...then i use UV light...and let it cool a bit. After, i try to clean the cooper of extra solder mask..and till that part all is ok. But, when i use a soldering iron to solder that pad/cooper...the solder mask gets weaker or destroyed and finally the pad is ripped again from the board .
                  Is there any solder mask...
