MattW Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 So I got a NES Top Loader on ebay that was AS-IS I was cleaning up the motherboard and found that cap C1 on the main board solder pad was not there. My question in where would the the best point to jump it to on the positive side of the cap? C1 is a 100u 6.3v cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerson Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Fortunately the lifted pad doesn't connect to anything on the solder side of the pcb. Just reflow the solder joint on the component side and you should be alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emerson Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I admit my advise wasn't the best for someone who doesn't know what they're looking at. If the component side pad was damadged then a simple reflowing of solder may not suffice. Below is an image of where you can jumper a wire to if need be.
