WolfofBadenoch Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I've been a clumsy oaf and damaged a loksound v4.0. The solder pad for one of the speaker wires has detached from the decoder as shown in the photos. Is this easily fixable? I've soldered wires on to the pads before but i fear getting a pad back on and making sure it has an electrical connection in the correct place is a much more difficult job! Thanks for any advice.

RMweb Premium JimFin Posted November 27, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 27, 2019 Its only a suggestion and not sure it would work but - cut back the heat shrink, find the track on the pcb where the pad detached and carefully scrape off a small are of insulation. Using a small tip to a soldering iron, attach a pin, similar material to the plug in pins on a decoder, to the PCB and then re-solder the detached wire to the pin you have created. insulate, maybe with slip over shrink wrap and hope for the best. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul80 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Or trace the track from the pad back and find the next solder point long and connect your wire there. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
