Solder contacts?

Mikeyman64 · Post by **Mikeyman64** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 8:29 pm

Hey, I have accidentally ripped off the video contacts of my psone screen on both sides of the board. Is there any way to connect a wire to a point without a metal contact? Or is there any way to make and attach new ones? Is there any hope?

Scratch off the green stuff, and solder your wire to it. Watch soldering 101 class 3.

I'm downloading as I type. Great work! Thanks.

EDIT:Well, now I'v got another problem. I've mannaged to accidentally remove the contacts from the snes mini a/v out port

, and they're through-hole contacts! How can I re-attach the a/v port now? I really need it for my Snesp! Plus, I can't connect my composite video to the psone screen now! And does anybody know if any of the pins for the snes mini a/v port are NOT necessary? And if so, which ones?

Guys, I REALLY need help with this! I can't continue with my project until I find out where I can connect my wires or if I can save the current contacts. And I need to know if I can't save it, so I can get a new Snes mini ASAP.

On account of your horrible pictures; all I can say is... keep scratching?

Is the gold copper of a pad popped off?

Yes. Each hole has a little contact tube thing that fits inside, and the wire or leads, are inserted into the contact tube thing. Well, some of thoughs contact tubes have been ripped out

, and I need to know how to either find other places that I can solder the wires to that goes to the a/v multiport (all that are neccesary), or where I need to scratch to get new contact points, or if I'm screwed.
