Repairing circuit board

[eee-tee]

Firstly, appologies if this is in the wrong board, but I was hoping someone could advise me:

I have an electrical item, only a simple/ small thing, and after unscrewing the cover, after hearing a 'rattle' i see that a small corner of the circuit board has broken off.

Unfortunately its proving difficult to replace the item in qurstion, so my question is, would it be possible to repair the said fault, or is it beyond repair?

Hi ET,

Welcome to our forum.

It’s hard to say without having seen the damage on the pcb, can you post a picture, preferable of both sides?

Hi Ante, and thanks for the reply.
Can i PM you the photo, or something, as i dont have a website to put it on to?

You can post pics here just push “Additional Options” below the message window and you can attach your pictures here!

OK, hopefully a scan of the item should be attached for you to look at.
as I hope you can see, a corner of the top left has come off, and the bottom left part is loose

Hi ET,

1. I would puzzle all the crumbs back together with superglue.
2. Scrape off the varnish on the copper stripes.
3. Solder small bridges over the broken copper stripes.
4. Carefully inspect the job before testing it!


Keep my fingers crossed

instead of doind all that why dont you just run
jumper wires to whatever part of the circuit it was
hooked up to.  In other words where it was broken
off just take the wires and solder them into the traces
where they were connected or find a junction point and
solder it there.
