As the title states is there any products that I can purchase to help fill in or repair some of the circuit connections on the back of a printed circuit board?
The connectors for some of the lights have worn down the printed connections and are not working. I need something to just fill in or help to remake the connection on the back of the board.
Anything else asides from solder?

the best way is to buy that copper tape stuff... Put it between the broken connections then solder it where the tape meets the broken ends... Minimized resitance and is alot cleaner!
that stuff. |

good to know thanks! :D
I imagine I can pick this up at Canadian tire or part source?

| i would suggest rear windshield defoster paint. its basically conductive paint meant for broken defoster lines. just paint it over the broken circuit and you should be good to go |

Also another good point.
Where the LED wires connect on the circuit board they have worn a groove causing a non connection.
I have known about this since May of last year but never really done anything about it.
Sometimes if I hit a lot of bumps the lights will light up temporarily then go out on the next bump. I checked all the electrical connections and they were tight.
It is just my climate control lights that are off, my heated seat light is intermittent with the light and the dash illumination control light is out. :lol: Time to do some repairs. I hate fumbling in the dark to adjust the temp. :D

how far apart is the gap?
can you just add some solder and reconnect them?
Otherwise, yeah, use the copper tape.
They have what you are looking for at Active Electronics on Gateway and Argyll, as well as MRO electronics on 178th St and 106 Ave. (both sides of the city for options) |

very very small. Infact it is a grove worn in by the wires from the led bulb. The wires are not connecting completing the circuit.

| Active also has board etching, slightly diff than the copper tape. |

| just solder in a portion of a jumper wire from one side of the broken track to the other one |

I've repaired circuit boards using mild oxide cleaner and following it up with a copper compound paint to touch up the traces.
You usually put some tape on either way to isolate the rest of the board, paint on the line (that is between the two pieces of tape), let it dry, then peel off the tape. Works really well. Radioshack and lots of electronics hobby stores have them.
There's a pretty good guide here anyways: http://www.circuitrework.com/guides/guides.shtml |
