A500 Plus Repair

[arttu80]

Yeah that will work as long as your using a single strand and not multiple strands. Also you will want to use something like conformal coating or epoxy to cover it up. You don't want bare wires touching other things. I prefer to use wire wrap wire since its very thing and covered with insolation.

Is there some good reason why not to use multiple strand wire as bypassing defective traces?

I repaired many Amigas with old pc power led/reset or equivalent cables with no problem. And these are very small gauge wires with multiple strands.

Thanks for the tip, got one roll of Kynar wire off eebay... Definitely will make neater repairs.

Yes, good point about wire stripper. Maybe should get job done with razor blade knife if wire stripper won't do.

Sorry for the lack of updates.[FONT="]

So I finally got the time to finish the repair today ended up having to change one chip the DM74L5244N to the left of the battery. I used wet/dry sandpaper to check the traces (which were fine) and recovered them with clear nail varnish.
