I ripped a pad during recap (help needed)

Post by naz »

Hello,

I was doing a recap on a GBA and I manage to ripped one of the pads of the CP2 capacitor while removing the old one. In order to fix it, I think I could just solder a wire from the + side of the new capacitor to the DA2 component as shown in red it the diagram and the photo:

Is the above a valid solution??? or am I missing something??

Thanks

should work. you could also try using enameled wire, remove the enamel, to connect to the broken pad. It looks like part of the pad is still there.
