How do I repair a crispy edge connector???

[mystery_base]

I use copper trace tape to repair those...

Here are a couple of pics of a Pac Jr. board I repaired.

Take a sharp knife and cut the bad trace. Peel it off the board if loose. If not loose use a soldering iron to heat it up to where it can easily be peeled off.

The trace is the same on the top & bottom so just wrap the tape around the board edge from top to bottom and solder it to the existing trace on the board.

I necro-ing this thread instead of creating a new one in order to "modernize" the link. I got my copper tape from Amazon. A buddy and I split it so came out even cheaper, we each got 3 rolls each which is PLENTY.

Copper Tape with adhesive on one side only:

We used it to repair his ROTJ edge connector and it worked great! (pics below).

Hope this helps!
