How Do You Fix A Broken Wire In A Computer Chip?
Repairing an electronic circuit is not difficult and can save a considerable amount of money if done properly. Learn the steps to turn one man’s trash (broken electronics) into another man’s treasure (free electronics). You can also use this technique to salvage a cherished piece of electronic bliss from computer oblivion. Step 1 Select the repair wire you will need to fix the traces (wires printed as flat lines on a computer chip). Use the wire gauge calculator at the end of this article or the link labeled “Wire Gauge Chart” to determine which wire you will need. Step 2 Unplug or unhook the device from any power source. Clean the broken area with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol. Allow the alcohol to dry. Step 3 Scrape off the broken traces or wire in the circuitry, using a sharp hobby knife, to places where the traces connect again to the PCB (printed circuit board).
