Damaged ecutek- can you solder?

weebs25 · 06-25-2022, 10:24 AM

Hey everyone. Brand new ecutek- used for less than a few minutes total..my dumb *** had it hooked up while working on my clutch pedal. Went to use it and surprise. Seems fixable but I am not an expert with soldering and electronics repair. Had no clue I did it until going to start a tune.

$60?

Easy fix for a laptop repair shop unless you ripped the pads off (I think you did). Even then, still somewhat easy to fix.

Yes, easy fix. It should be pretty cheap for a computer repair shop too. Hmm the pads still seem to be in tact. The only thing I would say is make sure the contact point on the module are straightened out. If you've never soldered before, I probably wouldn't test on this first. You need a decent solder set and some flux. if You don't have the right equipment, it's probably cost effective to just pay someone unless you plan on doing more soldering later lol good luck!
