i dont know of any other points for CMD......you could try fixing it to the trace, but i imagine if you ripped the pad you probably wouldn't handle that too well eitherhello,
I broke the CMD point on my 3dsXL, do you know an alternative point for a 3DS XL.
thank you in advance.
excuse me for my English.

the whole trace ....welll idk then did you just rip the whole thing off........ps if you remove the epoxy around the nand there might be a little bit left under therethe trace is broken too
if you want to do the nand mod yeah, but if you have given up on the idea, the burnt pad shouldn't cause any issues with the 3ds itselfhello,
do you think the CMD point is it really useful ??
A +
You're missing two things. Some people overheat the pads, which loosens the bond that holds them to the PCB, or even already gets them completely loose. The other problem is that some people use solid wire which can cause mechanical stress on the pads and even rip them off when they're not overheated. Kynar wires usually are OK, but you have to fix them to the motherboard to make sure that the end of the wire can't move and pull the pads.
use a soldering ironThanks for the reply, but those things are pretty obvious. But if i'm using soldering paste and very thin wire (i have some from a shady chinese webshop, works great)and hot air at 150 °c. And mask the PCB with kapton i shouldn't encounter any problems right?
use a soldering iron
simply using a soldering iron is much easier and less likely to damage something else by blasting the whole thing with hot air......while you *might* be able to do it, i couldn't really imagine anyone having much success trying to get all 4 solder points attached properly with something so indirect, just normal electronics flux and normal solder, im sure there will be better brands but any old stuff will do as long as your not using stuff designed for welding pipesHmm, i have a weller (adjustable temp) lying around. Any specific reason to not use hot air? (also, any recommended flux/solder brands to use?)

Just add some very thin wires to the 3DS PCB and a small circuit board (that i don't have to use the SD adapter). I will post some photos when i'm done ^^What are you trying to remove or rework? I work in smt and through hole for a living
its padsAre you trying to solder them to a pad or a lead? Or cut into a track to join it there?

Solder melts at around 220 lead for leaded.
