I am new to this forum, so please donˇt hate me if this is a little bit OT, but I will try to show also something before and after ;o)

So, I received an IGT S2000 with some ICs blown and some damage to PCB. I will show here step-by step how I did rework of PCB and replaced an IC with a socket.

First thing was to understand the extent of damage to PCB

The damage for this IC was local, so it was worth to start removing the IC and clearing the burned area of tracks.

Before I cut the legs and desoldered, I made some pics to remember track routings, then I lifted the tracks from burnt area.

Very impressive. With damage like that I would have never even thought about it being repairable.

It took me  about 2 full days of work, whole process about 4-5 days(epoxy-oven, CNC, etc).
Nowadays it is usually cheaper to buy new PCB - so it is a hobby now, I just like to piddle with the boards sometimes.
Another problem with this kind of repair is that PCBs used in new electronics may have up to 20 layers. With similar technique I am able to cover only 6 layers (3 from one side and 3 from other), probably takes 2 weeks(never tried more layers).
Anyways only place where this kind of job would pay off is military systems(fighters, radars etc), where the PCBs cost hundreds of thousands, but they are not so anxious to outsource ;o( so I repair slots and pokers for fun ;o)
