Did I just totally ruin this board?

Where the green sections are missing? Not sure how I ended up screwing it up.

Just trying to change some LED's in my Xbox controller.

I have repairing circuit boards since the Navy
You had too much heat on your iron or just too big an iron
I have a little battery powered one I use now for things like that and it works great

I just picked up some 30w chinese soldering iron. Says it was good for electronic repairs.

put some duct tape on it

hehehhe

dyna mo · 10-23-2013, 02:48 PM

make sure to tin your iron tip. that board is fried amigo. your iron might be too much for such a tiny weld. i would advise an iron with only 30-40w power. and lead solder, not the safe shit that needs more heat.

make sure you let it heat up for a good 10 minutes.

Colmike9 · 10-23-2013, 02:53 PM

I'd just call that a challenge.. ;)
(jk, fuck that...)

What's fun to do is to take an N64, on the main center chip take a tiny soldering iron and unsolder pins 112 and 116, then solder those ends each to a wire running to any 3.3v sources. Then cut those wires and add two way switches. Then you have an N64 that runs at 1, 1.5, 2 or 3x clock speed and reund games better and sometimes increases draw distance...

scarlettcontent · 10-23-2013, 03:22 PM

you need a small tipped iron with a variable temperature setting and a magnifier for this kind of work, you should use a solder sucker to clean it up first and then some very fine emery cloth to finish cleaning it up then start again. I spent 12 years working on these kinda boards and they take a while to get the hang of.... if your not careful you can burn out some components with too much heat or damage the track but you can rebuild the track with some fine wire. use some flux to keep things clean.. its like micro surgery, you need a very steady hand and very little solder otherwise you can easily join two tracks together, have fun with it.

Lace · 10-23-2013, 04:27 PM

Hmm...I'll give it a go tomorrow on another older controller and see if I can get it without burning the whole board this time.

For the price of that iron could have had a chinese guy work outta your closet for a week and shit would have been flawless, have luck

Looks like he burned THROUGH the circuit already.

Big difference between electronic repairs and Circuit Board repairs
I would get a smaller one and let it heat up, tin the end, then try it on another part of the bad board before trying this on an other board

you migh have had the same job asmy old man in the navy, only he was on a tender and fixed all the electronics for all the ships, was recently going through some photos and found an old navy newsletter for his outfit and in it were some pics of him at his station soldering. i found his soldering gun at a very young age and mucked up what was apparently, based on the whooping i got, a very expensive gun. hahah, good times.

anyhoo,, i've recently gotten back into it and am doing up my own wiring harnesses for guitars. not as intricate work as this, 22 gauge wire and pots, but coincidental eh!

Yeah. Xbox 360 controller. A friend of mine said he can fix it, so we'll see if he can before I go making it any worse.
