TREVistation70 Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 So was installing my first mod chip & was soldering a wire to the D0 point on the backside of the mobo & made a horrible mistake. When the solder was starting to cool, my hand twitched & somehow the solder point on the board stuck to the wire, which I was holding & completely tore from the board. The ends of the traces peeled up slightly on both sides. Ugh! I managed to use the D0 point on the topside to ground & run chip. My issue now is that I can boot chip by holding power down but when booting normal I get flashing red-green. Not a huge deal but would like to repair if possible.

Kekule Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 can you post a pic of the damage... there are several trace repair videos on youtube . mostly because of clock cap issues, but the technique can be applied anywhere really... if it pulled the trace up in the middle, just get a good scratch brush, some 30 AWG hookup wire and jumper the damaged area.

TREVistation70 Posted September 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Well not now at least, it's up & running on the chip & am in the process of backing up some games. I'll check YouTube when it comes back apart for a larger drive. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
