Broken Trace

Re: Broken Trace

We need 2 new clear pictures of or the board after you have fitted the caps so that we can see whats going on and offer advice on what to test.

Thanks Jasgriff here are some closeups.

Re: Broken Trace

Thanks guys I did as ben7 suggested as shown in the photo. This board was not powering up no led but I did have 5volt and 12 volt to the logic connector and 169 volts on the large cap.I replaced these three caps because they were the only ones that were not replaced and now I don't have any voltage to the logic connector but still have 169 volts on the large cap. Did I loose the voltage because of the broken trace?

Re: Broken Trace

What Ben said, or take a exacto knife and scrap away some of the board near the lead to expose the trace and then soldier over it.

Re: Broken Trace

Hi guys I was replacing the start up caps on this board and I pulled the copper trace on the 1uf @50 volts. The other two 22uf @50 volts were ok I know some of you have repaired broken traces but this is so small I can't see where the circuit leads. My question is how are these three caps connected in the circuit? Can I use a jumper to the leg with the broken trace?

Keep the lead of the new cap long, and bend it over and solder it to that resistor, then trim off the excess lead
