I was in the process of removing some fets on a printed circuit board, and I guess applied to much heat. The copper pads on the top and bottom came off the board, and are were destroyed. Now I cannot get the solder to adhere to the board properly. Is there a fix for this, or do I have to replace the board?

Re: Copper pads on printed circuit board came off.
You need to find the nearest copper connected to that, and strip the soldermask off, then solder to that. Pictures of the board would help.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Copper pads on printed circuit board came off.
You need to get a more in focus and closer picture, we need to be able to trace it through. Maybe you will have to remove some of those green caps to get access.Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!

Re: Copper pads on printed circuit board came off.
The trace goes from R5082 (the one below the text saying q5006 or q5008) to the hole .. carefully scrape off the insulation on that trace.
Get some thin wire, lay it over the trace so that one end is almost near the resistor solder, and the other side goes down into the hole. When you put the mosfet or whatver that was on the heatsink, its lead will press against the wire and will make good contact.
Now solder the wire and lead together and the wire to the wide trace (if you want, add a bit of solder to the resistor side and then solder the wire to that solder)Comment

Re: Copper pads on printed circuit board came off.
Ok, what about the other hole on opposite side of the FET, or does it all trace back to one source.Last edited by topfli8979; 02-16-2013, 10:33 PM.Comment

Re: Copper pads on printed circuit board came off.
Well, no offense but are you blind or unable to check? I can't see better than you from here.
I've explained how the first one works, follow the process the same way for the other.
Look around the hole for lighter green stuff, that's the copper trace under the insulation. Scrape that off and repeat.Comment

Re: Copper pads on printed circuit board came off.
That is why i was asking if it is possible for both sides to come off one source, the opposite side does not have a lighter green trace.Comment

Re: Copper pads on printed circuit board came off.
Yes, it does have one.
All three holes have something, if not on the top, on the backside.
On the far right hole, there is something that looks like a trace going diagonally towards the corner of that white rectangle. I may be wrong and it could be just a reflection.
The center hole's trace may be going behind the heatsink under that thick white bar, or both center and right hole's traces may be on the other side of the board.
Just get some flashlight or some desk lamp and shine the light through the board and you'll see the traces, if you can't see them with your eyes alone.Comment

Hello.
I have seen a short circuit tester made with 3 * 9V batteries, a voltage limiter component and a resistor connected to the probes of a multimeter.
The theory is that the meter becomes sensitive enough to read very low resistances and the lowest resistance to ground on a circuit is likely to be a short circuit in that area.

A few days ago, I purchased MESR-100 ESR meter, and When I measured a SMD capacitor on circuit,MESR-100 showed ESR value of 30, But I managed to desolder this SMD capacitor from circuit and measured it then MESR-100 showed ESR value of 18.
I also measured it with Mega328 Transistor Tester, and It showed ESR value of 17.
Is my MESR-100 defective, if the ESR value is different between on Circuit and off Circuit? -
Hi,
I've been trying to build a Peltier circuit that I can control with arduino and create cooling ramps. I've never built a circuit before and only have a basic knowledge of electronics.
I've been researching how to do this and attempted to build it. My circuit is basically a PWM signal sent to a motor driver with an LC filter to smoothen the signal. Since very low temperatures are required, I added another Peltier on top of the first one. The top Peltier needs to be driven at a lower voltage to limit the amount of heat produced and effectively lower the temperature.... -
Hello everyone
Small technical problem on a Nintendo Switch lite
Here's what I noticed: the USB port has been damaged internally, with a short circuit on the power supply line to the small fuse.
After replacing the USB connector, the short circuit went away and I can't see any other short circuit in the whole motherboard.
When I charge the console, it seems to be charging: I get 15 volts and an amperage of 0.450 A.
Then, after a while, the amperage increases to 1.1 A and the BQ24193 charging chip starts to heat up, as evidenced... -
Dear Electronics Friends.,
I have 26 LEDs (Rating 3v 20mA) in my garden attached all in Parallel Circuit. I am using a 12v 5amp DC power adapter. I calculated the value of Resistor which was nearly 13ohms 1 watt resistor. All LEDs light up very well.
My question is after 4 ~ 5 days the first 2~3 LEDs (starting in the circuit) nearest to the power adapter get burnt or just do not light up & the rest 22 LEDs makes no difference, they glow very well. Why is this so? This is the 3rd time I have replaced the 1st 3 LEDs in the start of the circuit. Am I doing something wrong, or the...
