Forum Rules *ALL NEW MEMBERS, PLEASE READ!! UPDATED!!*

First and foremost, Welcome to the Badcaps Capacitor Search Engine & Forums!

New members that have activated their accounts have limited access to certain features of the site until established. Members with zero posts have no access to the private messaging system. Also, members with zero posts may not edit certain profile attributes, such as signatures. New members also may not create new threads. However, new members with zero posts have full access to all technical information contained on this forum, and that also includes attachments (images and files that other members have uploaded), and new members that have activated their accounts are free to post replies to existing threads. If you wish to create a new thread, the fix is simple! All you need is ONE post to be able to have full unrestricted access, and that can be simply posting an introduction of yourself or say hello in THIS THREAD. This may seem a little strange, but it helps keep spam and abuse curved. Please note, that it may take up to one hour from your first post for the limits to be removed. If you make a post and don't immediately see the restrictions gone, be patient. The promotion system updates every hour.

Please complete your profile after making your first post, with your name, locale, and other info. It's nice to know members on a first name basis, and know where they're from. Makes for a much friendlier environment!

This also includes using this forum's private message system to solicit business. Members, if you receive a PM from anyone offering repair services or components, please alert me immediately! Myself or any of my moderators, will never private message a user soliciting business, for Badcaps.net, or any other servicer/vendor.

1) Please use the SEARCH feature!! Your question may have been answered in another thread! Please search first and see if it has!

2) When posting a technical question, be as detailed as possible in your thread. The more information we have about your specific problem, the better we can answer your question.

3) Please use COMPLETE sentences, punctuation, and grammar! Nobody is perfect, hence, a spelling error on occasion is no biggie. However, posts/threads that are unreadable will be deleted.

5) Keep things civil! There will be no tolerance for flaming, bashing, hateful remarks, racial remarks, adult material of ANY kind, and so on.

6) THE LOUNGE RULES! The lounge is a place for off topic chit-chat!

First offense: Warning by me or a moderator
Second offense: Banning for 1 day
Third offense: Banning for 3 days

If you do something really dumb, or are just a troll, I will skip the warning and the temporary banning, and ban you permanently!

The rules are pretty cut and dry... However, if you have any questions about this policy, feel free to contact me.

    New Tiny Pad Installation

    Dear Forum Members,

    Yesterday, I removed a corroded IC from a laptop mainboard (as in the photo). During this process, Pad 19 got ripped off. This pad must be connected to the capacitor above it.
    Unfortunately after cleaning, the ground copper appeared under Pad 19. I have to install a new pad on Pad 19. The new pad must not touch the the ground copper.

    What is the cheapest substance or glue that I can use to cover the ground copper and install a new pad for Pad 19?
    I do not have solder mask. Can I use any other substance for this work?
    the substance must be heat-resistant as I will apply heat to solder a new IC on these pads.
    What are your recommendations on this work?

    Thanks

    I'd recommend some sort of uv glue, epoxy or soldermask.

      I was thinking of using Silicon Glue that can tolerate 200'C. It will cover the ground copper and will hold the new pad too. But I do know if it will be suitable for this job in practice.

          Why don't you just install the new ic, then run a thin wire from pin19 to the cap. There is no need to replace that pad, trying to will likely just result in a mess or more damage.

            Thank you.
            I forgot to mention that the IC is QFN. So soldering a wire to it is difficult.
            I thought there might be a standard way to repair such a damaged tiny pad. Is there such a way or I have to soldering a wire to the IC?

              Agree
              Before placing the IC:
              - Make sure ALL pads retain connection
              - Lift / bend pin 19 before soldering the IC

                QFN has no pins - it has pads like a socket775 cpu

                  Re: New Tiny Pad Installation

                  Maybe you could find a similar trace from a scrap board, Then fill the hole on the board with a bit of epoxy, then position the new trace on top of the epoxy. that should prevent it from touching the ground trace below pin 19 and also hold the replacement trace in place.

                    Sure, that's why i mentioned "bend".
                    Most low count I/O QFN ICs usually allow the pads to be bent outwards the package (from backwards to the side).

                          I'd use some Chemtronics thermal epoxy, it will take 315 ÂșC for a minute. https://www.chemtronics.com/circuitw...hesive-syringe
                          Tin a fine piece of wire, lay it in place of the track, place QFN on top.

                            The last time I had to deal with something similar to this on a Macbook, the customer had already attempted the repair their-self and subsequent damage to the board exposed one of the internal ground layers. I back filled the exposed area with a hard curing UV solder-mask, the remaining arrangements were taken care of with several preformed copper wires soldered to their related nearby components or tracks tinned and positioned under the qfn pads. Thermal re-flowing completed the repairs to a satisfactory working standard. Suggest plenty of practise before attempting this.

                              imo some QFN allow it to be done... or at least trimmed from backwards to the side (see picture attached to this post)

                                UV light is usually applied to a mainboard when there is no IC on it. But I have to apply it when there are various kinds of ICs on the mainboard such as CPU, North-Bridge, Embedded-Controller, Buck-Converters, Mosfets. but there is no UV-sensitive EPROM on it.
                                The mainboard belongs to IBM Thinkpad T61 laptop.
                                Can UV light damage any IC on this mainboard?

                                    I am working on iphone boards and most often there is a broken trace which needs to be repaired. 0.01-0.02mm wire, UV glue and UV lamp are very good for that job.

                                    For your case 0.1mm wire should work fine. Just cover the ground with a very small amount of UV glue and let it dry under UV lamp. Then clean that wire, solder it to the capacitor and place it where it needs to be. Cut to lenght and apply a new layer of UV glue on it, let it dry under UV again.

                                    Btw, that is far from tiny
