JDm b16a2...

im in newzealand, miles away from yous.. theres plenty floatin around here (jdm heaven ).. just hate havin to fork out the cash.

 

You can fix that dude...

Clean up all of the clear coat. Then follow the traces path ont he board with a single peice of wire. Just get melt the solder at the join that the trace goes to, and run it to into the hole, through to the other side. Put the component into the old, and solder as normal.When you have the solder in the hole snip (or wiggle back and forth) the excess wide until it breaks off at the solder joint. Wa-la, homemade trace.

 

i just finished doing an ecu and i guess you guys earn your money for it . i am prett capable when it comes to soldering but have never tried to desolder anything, lol. but i finished it and plugged it into my car and no solid CEL so i guess i'm good to go.

 

yeah dude, it just looks a lot worse than it is because of the globs of solder still on the board, clean it all up and follow the traces and run jumpers, i've fixed much worse, that will be cake. on another note, next time don't use so much solder for the smd components, they hardly take anything.

 

actually im not kidding. maybe im not looking in the right place.

 

edit, my bad, i didnt see that the picture scrolled sideways, lol.

damn
