    Tracer Question

    Attached is a pic of the power supply board - BN44-00201A - out of a Samsung TV - I desoldered 2 caps with wick - had a little trouble with 1 leg and scraped the tracer lightly in the photos - appears cosmetic - 2 quick questions - The strip of solder shown and hole for cap are all on one big tracer - correct ? When I solder the new cap can the hole and strip can make contact ? ie can I bridge them with solder ? There was black paint and green coating between the hole and strip of solder - but now you can see the bare copper - sorry for the novice question just trying to be careful - Thanks for any help

      it's all one connection, bridge it all you want.

          Yep you can bridge it.

          To be honest, with power traces like these, I've actually had a hard time trying to intentionally cut them. I have accidentally scraped them before, and it seems that the soldermask comes off. Of course, if you want to be sure it will work, just bridge it over.

              OK Thanks - 1st time with a power supply board - never saw a tracer that wide - appreciate the response - seems either prior to or when they put the caps in and bend the legs over the board is marked (dotted) with black paint under the leg - not sure I've noticed it before on any other board - do not know what the reason is - mapping components ? quality control as they come off the line ? Actually the most curious about the trail of solder - Thanks again

                  Hi There!
                  I'm trying to help my friend who owns a restaurant be just bought.
                  He has a very long LED strip running along all the walls and columns. The strip is attached facing down 2in above the floor, using a wall panel that ends in a metal rail that finishes the panel underneath
                  It's stuck using, I guess, the 2 sided tape that comes with the strip
                  The issue is that like 1/2 of the full length, including 1/2 one wall, another entire wall, and one column, flickers after 4 or 5 minutes ON. Particularly it flashes staying OFF most of the time and flashing ON for 1 tenth...

                  Diagnosing South Bridge (FH82H370) on Asus H370-Pro Gaming Motherboard
                  by Ross Kohler
                  Hi,

                  I'm learning about motherboard repair and I believe I've traced the issue down for the South Bridge on the particular motherboard I'm working on. My path of concluding that:
                  - There's no sign of any attempt to power on when pushing the power button.
                  - No PSON signal is reaching the 24-pin ATX connector.
                  - The Super IO chip is receiving the PS_SWITCH signal from the power button and is relaying this signal back to the South Bridge.
                  - The Super IO is not receiving the S_SLPS#_R signal back from the South Bridge
                  - If I pull the Super IO S_SLPS#_R pin...

                  Problem

                  This is an LG edge LED lit LCD Display. The LEDs are on the bottom edge of the display. There are 2 bars (left and right) Each bar has many LEDs and a 6 pin connector. Each pin drive several LEDs thus is the highest current flow / heat junction. The weak lead free solder gradually fails with thermal expansion/contraction cycling and increases resistance. PSU will compensate up to a point, then when the current is too high, PSU just shut down the backlight causing a dark display. I have even seen one which the connector just fell off as solder points became completely detached....

                  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...

                  220v Led strip flickering
                  by adelage
                  Hi, I am installing a long led strip and I noticed that it frequently flickers slightly, it is not a strong nor regular thing, but it is noticeable and annoying. I have measured the voltage of the mains and it shows some fluctuations, it normally stays at around 226v, but often (every few seconds) drops down to 218/219v), and the flickering happens exactly at the same time. I have measured this at the counter and with every appliance off, so it's not related to the house electrical system, but that's how it comes from the supplier.
                  I know that the best solution would be to get a voltage...
