Title: PCB Rework and replacing IC [PICS] Post by: fromme on October 10, 2012, 02:40:39 PM 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 Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: fromme on October 10, 2012, 02:44:27 PM 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. Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: fromme on October 10, 2012, 02:46:06 PM Lifted tracks from backside and started to cut the board.
Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: fromme on October 10, 2012, 02:47:20 PM Finished cutting the board and made a phase (step edge).

Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: fromme on October 10, 2012, 02:54:11 PM Installed new througholes, soldered the tracks, replaced some tracks and soldered the socket. And covered with lacquer.
Thats it! Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: FORDSBS on October 10, 2012, 03:15:55 PM :105- Nice job, Ford
Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: Oscar Pompa on October 10, 2012, 04:16:34 PM Very Good Job Ford :293-
How long did you take in this job ?? :103- Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: FORDSBS on October 10, 2012, 04:21:35 PM It was not me, it was fromme.
Ford Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: Oscar Pompa on October 10, 2012, 04:34:29 PM upsS!! :25- jajaja
nice job Fromme !!! i just woke up !! :294- i didnt read properlly !! jajaja Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: crgadyk on October 10, 2012, 05:47:10 PM Very impressive. With damage like that I would have never even thought about it being repairable.
Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: tkrozleski on October 10, 2012, 10:36:49 PM Beautiful work! I was not aware such a repair could be done like this.
Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC Post by: fromme on October 11, 2012, 01:30:25 PM Very Good Job Ford :293- How long did you take in this job ?? :103- 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) Title: Re: PCB Rework and replacing IC [PICS] Post by: startek2 on March 01, 2013, 10:20:15 PM dang i think i would have just used jumper wires......
