was doing a cap kit on a wg7203 and the pad under the cap pulled up where one of the legs go thru. How do i fix this in order to get it soldered in place? as of now there is no pad and the solder wont stick at all.
 
Fold the leg over on top of the trace and solder the leg to the trace.

You'll probably have to scrape the protective coating off to do so.
 
You can take a razer blade and scrape the green covering off the trace where the pad broke off and solder it, If its to far away and you cant get the solder to jump the gap, Jump in a piece of wire, radio shack coil wire is what i use, It is ceramic coated so you will have to scrape the covering off the wire before soldering.
 
as far as scraping the trace, IMHO a small flatblade screwdriver does the trick...

someetimes yes i will just bend the new components leg to reach the remaining part of the trace...

if thats not possible theres a few other methods... old used cap lead works well...

on fatter traces i prefer to use used desoldering braid.. it makes nice fat trace repairs, and its already pre-tinned heh....

and if im jumping from the other wide of the board or something then i break out the regular insulated wire...
 
not to derail like a prick, but I have a similar problem with the remote board for one of my U5000's. I've manipulated caps to work in these scenarios, but how do you do it with pots? I tried the jumper wire approach (stripped insulator off and just tinned into a solid wire and fed through the holes) and I couldn't get it to work right.

I'd say solder direct to the pins on the edge, but what does that do for the 2 traces that are inline? (I believe one of these is the ground)

I think I have another sticky topic idea. :)

Start a thread and add pictures. :) If you just can't get solder to stick on different elements of the repair, you will just need to use a little flux.
