Please help.
Problem: Broken VCR circuit board from shock of computer
monitor landing on top of VCR while moving electronics in car during rush-hour
traffic (sudden stop.) Plus, it is my friends $1400 VCR that I
broke. Circuit board broke into 2 pieces. Copper tracers(?)
broke. Need to reconnect tracers.
Picture: I have uploaded a picture of the broken board
(now epoxied together) at http://www.digitalnebula.com/vcr.jpg
You should be able to see the copper tracers as I have etched away all the green
stuff, and epoxied the 2 halves together.
Solutions: The only things I have found so far to fix it
are "Pretinned solid bus wire", 24-gauge, $1.79 from Radio Shack, or a
"Etch your own PC board" kit, $13.99, from Radio Shack
also.
Available tools: Radio Shack solder gun,
wire strippers, and about $50.
Questions:
What is the best way to repair it?
What is the most economical way to repair it?
How should I do it?
Is there a good Web site or manual out there that would help
me?
Thanks you for your help.
Sincerely,
Paul Millington
