Lifted pad... best way to fix?

[MJ313]

haha yup!

I am recapping an LC1. All went well except... 1 lifted pad. sigh...

This one had a trace leading to a via, so this time I just soldered the cap to the via, following archer174's suggestion. I am wondering if I could've just soldered it to the IC leg? presumably the via, between the IC and the cap has a reason for being though...

If I screwed this up, please let me know.

Looks fine to me.  I lifted a pad off one machine I was working on, and I used a small piece of jumper wire (the kind used for fixing traces.)  That way I could satisfy my OCD and have straight caps.

whew! Your stuff all turns out awesome. I have to set my expectations a bit lower at this point... I'll be happy if this works.

Well, the recapping seemed to go well, but when I booted it up... no sound!

So, I went through the archives on here... and sure enough someone else had the same problem. I checked the traces, soaked the board in soapy water, dried it off with my air brush, reflowed the solder on Q1....

BAM!  It works!  Happy days!

Where's the Like Button? I need to press it.

Congrats MJ313! A lot of times the repair is simple. Other times I want to open a portal to hell and throw the board into it!

Thanks, I am pretty happy it worked out. Lots of good info on this site and helpful people as well.
