I have a spare neckboard that I picked up to replace a broken one on a WG4900, but I decided to at least attempt a repair on the broken neckboard and wanted to ask if I illustrated the "bridges" that I have to create correctly in the image below.

(The green lines represent the paper clip segments I will solder to the board).

Thanks.

Bob Roberts' instructions indicate that these should be clamped and soldered first, and then hot glued.

Either way works. Personally, I usually try to glue the board together first, then solder it, and then protect the crack with glue. But it really doesn't matter. That's a really minor break, you could probably get away with just soldering it together without the glue at all. The glue is just for sability.

If you look at the first picture there is a resistor that I'd have to replace. You can see where the PCB break caused one leg to pull out of the body.

The other pic is of the neckboard of a Matsushita in my Pole Position 2. But I don't know if it would be worth the time and effort to clean and repair that one. (I do however have a spare neckboard for that monitor also).

Hot glue might work in colder places but expoy is the way to go. I have use a thin peice of fiber glass board on broken single sided board for support on broken fly backs. Desolder the parts and glue down the board. flip board over re connect the broken traces and Fill the crack with expoy. Drill any holes you need too. Reinstall the parts.

Good luck in your repairs..
