Gotta love these "how-to" videos that give you the illusion that a PCB is being reworked correctly. We're big advocates of circuit board repair. It's the most sensible and economical approach to BUT you need to employ the correct IPC quality standards! #RepairDontWaste #UKMFG

Repair, Don't Waste! Just like diagnosing a PCB should be the least disruptive after all the circuit board is likely to be a return from equipment that's been in operation for years, techs should pay maximum attention to minimise cross-contamination and disturbing the devices and substrate around the
