Hey all

I fancy a bit of tinkering. I have a motherboard with a small chip at the edge (looks like the trace is still intact though) and fancy attempting some repair on it.

Does anyone know of some good PCB epoxy glue and where I could get some colour pigment from?

Cheers. :D

The last time I repaired a motherboard it was back in the 80's and came from... and Acorn Atom! :lol:

I used superglue and single strand wire to reconnect the many tracks which had seperated when the mainboard cracked and it worked again! :shock: :D

Not much help to you, I know, but I was impressed. ;)

Aye, a black glue gun may be the way forward. :D

I think the trace is still intact actually.

On the long list of things to mend. :D
