After the first attempt I looked up tutorials for repairing traces and learned a lot form this YouTube cannel: Branchus Creations

    I won't be bothered to place a wire when the gap itself is less than diameter of that wire. On good half of these cracks you can get away with just a solder blob.

    for some reason youtube recommend me this video. Great video and new subscriber here

    The funny thing about magnet wire: If you're using it for patching a trace, then you want what is normally considered bad quality so that the enamel is removed easily. If winding a speaker coil or radio tuner or inductor, etc, you want the BEST quality wire so that the enamel doesn't flake off so easily.

    The fiberglass pen that I use has a smaller diameter fiberglass element . Possibly the broader size pens like that cover too much area for such a job .

  • @monkersuk6719
    Great job on these! If you replace that flux pen with some genuine quality flux (amtech is great) it will make a huge difference :)

    Good stuff mate, just started the same thing, first video coming up soon. Let me know if you want to chat about it... In the meantime I just got hundreds of cassettes and games...but nothing makes you feel better than a repaired sega cartridge!

    18:12 with such a solder blob on a contact pin you are going to destroy your cwrtridge slot as it will bend the contact in the slot.

    @HopefulRepairman what catastrophe caused this damage?
  • @adilator
    I can see the reflections of the LED lights you got going there yet the image is still too dark. fix the exposure setting on your camera.

    I have used fiberglass pens many times. I don't know why you are freaking out 🤨
