clean it up a bit and take another picture.. i wanna see something.. i believe that you can actually fix this.. it would be VERY hard... if i was to make a tut, i would put it at 20/10 difficulty... mebbe even 25... but with patience i believe you can do it
this is one that i see to be a problem. it looks like it is a tented through-hole via... not just a bga pad...can you confirm this on the board itself? if it is, then it shouldnt be a problem to fix..the area where the pads were will need some work.you will need a fiberglass pen (I use a "lenline brush") LINK TO ONE @ RADIOSHACK (i dont use this, but it does look like it would be fine)youll also need a conductive pen... Sample @ RadioShack (Get this one as it is silver and not nickel based)3rd item youll need is a hobby knife preferably with a fine tip blade (#11, #2, or even #16)4th item: Glossy Scotch tape/Painters tape/frog tape (basically something that is easy to removeonce you have these items, ill walk you thru it more. im looking for something with a bga on it so that i can follow along...at this point, you need to think if the time and stess is worth it. I would do it, so as not to waste something that is perfectly good. it may take a few tries, but if you follow the directions i give you, you should be able to get it done.EDIT: another thing that oyu can do to prepare the board is to remove the solder from the pads. dont use the rubbing technique like that video, apply flux then use the dabbing technique wilst rolling the iron on the braid.
If you guys can really fix this i really think that is cool. I have no idea if its going to work at all but i just want to see first.can you solder to those conductive pen traces? IDK haven't tried that.
