Broken Trace(s)

PapaThiccBoi · April 1, 2019

So, long story short I have managed to I believe completely sever one trace, and expose another, which has (luckily) only disabled 2 ram slots, which hasn’t been a problem until now when I have 16 gigs of ram and can only use 12. I don’t have pictures because I’m at school on lunch right now, but when I get home I’ll add some pictures. I need to know if there is anything I can do other than sending it to Asus for a massive premium. I can sort of solder but I only have a chisel tip so can’t do small stuff without some modification to my iron. Send help!!!

trace repair is very, very delicate stuff. i can wholehartedly advice to not use a chisel tip iron for something like this.

i repair welder-PCB's for a living, and even we usually don't do trace repair.

ok, sorry I kinda forgot I made this post (ADHD intensifies) but here are the best pictures I could get due to the fact that I only have an iPhone XR (my dads actually) and there is another spot that is a bit iffy, but I can't get it because of my cooler (I think)
