Title: Sync Button Broke Off The PCB - Help
Post by: Joe4x2 on June 13, 2009, 05:42:13 PM: Hi all - I have a controller that has a sync button that broke off and ripped the solder pads along with it right off the PCB. Can anyone help me find a good solution for new solder points? I thought I saw some super high res. pictures of the traces somewhere on here but I am having no luck searching today.

I have run jumpers for some LEDs before when I ruined their pads so hopefully I can find out some points to jump from and use a tact button or something similar.
