Broken ram connector

[Oldys]

Hello guys!

 

I have a problem, my friend broke 3 connector leaves. Is it possible to solder it or fix it somehow ?

 

 

Sorry for bad photo quality.

Use conductive ink if you can figure out where the pads used to go. If they dont lead to anything on the PCB, then it is fine. Make sure to look for VIAs. These are essentially copper "rivets" to connect layers together. Try it on a derpy motherboard first! I wish you luck!

Could work with conductive ink, but would be kinda messy

okay thanks i will try. 

if there are traces near where the pad were and you know that they went to the pads, carefully scrape the solder resist off of the copper trace using a flathead jewler's screwdriver and use a pice of tape to mask off the areas that dont need it. After installing the ram, removal might wear the ink off.

I dont think i will be removing it often. Just like leave it there.
