Hey guys I'm new to site
Im having a bit of a problem I removed a faulty charging port from a board with a heat gun however a had to a poly a little force. The problem that I'm having is that when I removed the port the solder or what ever its called were removed also from the board can it be fixed?
I will post a picture picture just in case you guys are not clear about what I'm talking about

 

Picture is too blurry to tell.

 

Thx for the reply gonna post another picture so that you guys can see what I'm talking about.
That is not the actual picture but its the same thing I'm referring to. The soldering that is on the board seem to have been ripped away when I was removing the charging port.

If I understand your problem and the pads have lifted off the board then you are going to have use fine insulated wire and connect the socket to the appropriate tracks with solder.

 

We need to see a picture of your damaged board. Not a similar board. There is a difference.
What is your soldering experience.........what is the damaged area function for. Most charging ports have 2 conductors. Were only 2 conductors/traces damaged?

 

Long story short, yes, it can be fixed relatively easily. Professionals handle that sort of thing all the time.
However, respectfully, if you lack the skill/equipment to remove a micro USB port without lifting pads (even on a cheap PCB) I doubt you'll have the skill/equipment to do a proper repair. If the tablet is important to you, cut your losses and get it professionally repaired.
That being said, if the tablet isn't worth getting professionally fixed, why not give it a shot anyway, right? Basically, although the pads are gone, you can scrape off (gently) the green solder mask covering the traces leading up to the pads. You can then use thin magnet wire (enamel coated wire) to solder the USB ports pins there. Be sure to mount the USB port securely to the board as well (epoxy or glue works), otherwise you'll rip the connections/traces again in no time.

 

Can you find any non functioning circuit board.... to practice on?

 

Yeah, lifted pads/traces are a b!tch. Never pry a component off - you'll get lifted pads every time.Next time you want to remove something, try to cut the component apart to leave individual pins which are easy to desolder one at a time.

PCBs have a layer on top called solder resist which does exactly like it sounds. You will need to take that off on the traces that went to the pads. A little heat helps to soften it up but be very careful with that, easy to torch innocent by-standers. I've got lots of experience reworking boards and would only give myself 50% odds of success. I second the suggestion to practice on something else as it will take practice to get the skill. Frankly, I'd look to see what a replacement PCB might cost - maybe you could find same model with a cracked screen for cheap.

YES! The best you could do to know what/how to do it and how much you need to improve. Worked marvels for me.

 

Thanks guys you all answered my question as you guys said I'm gonna need some practice as I do sell accessories and phones and also do minor repairs. I am planning to open a shop Here, hire a few technicians for difficult jobs so I can make some extra cash. Thanks again guys will sure be here to participate in other discussions.
