Lifting Pads? - GSM-Forum

dubndrums · 12-21-2002, 13:53

I was just changing the on/off button on a 5210 but have had the misfortune of lifting two of the copper pads from the board. It is the lower two pads at the bottom of the switch.

I have soldered on a new button to the top two pads but unsuprisingly it will no longer switch on.

Is there any way to repair this? Perhaps I could solder tiny wires to the two legs and then solder the other ends to wherever the circuit goes next? But where is that? It's really difficult to see where the circuit goes to from the legs of the switch because of the chip just below.

Any help will be gratefully appreciated, I'm gonna have to fork out for a replacement phone for the customer if I can't repair it!

I work for Simpletalk on Belgrave Gate in the City Centre. Do you work locally then my friend?

Do you know where I need to bridge it to?
