Brilliant job! Only thing I could potentially recommend is the addition of a pad from a ribbon cable of some sort to go along with the wire to increase the surface area a little bit. Was looking all over the internet for a good guide on trace repair for the Nintendo Switch and this is bar far the best one I've seen. Again, Amazing job!
Hello, it's Ed ☺️ Great video. Did it work ok? Also... What about applying solder mask first off then laying the wire on top? Ps. I'm not one to praise where it's not deserved, but when you said, "it's not perfect" I responded out loud with, "that's as close to perfect as humanly possible! You sound be pleased." 😂
Laying solder mask first wouldn't have worked. I wouldn't have been able to make the electrical connection with it in the way as it's non conductive. I suppose I could have used a small amount of solder mask just to hold it in place whilst I solder the majority of it though. Y'know, just tack it down sorta thing. And yeah the repair worked in the end!
